Patch: Use calloc instead of malloc when running out of VSM space (common_vsm.c)

[Federico Schwindt]

Incidentally, this also reminds me of something else I observed some time
ago.

We use calloc in many places, I do wonder how many of them do really need
it. The downside of using calloc when is not really needed is that by
zeroing the memory you end up with resident memory and not virtual, which
in turn might lead to swapping.
