mem: zero out memory on free

Since commit fafcc11985a2, memzones are not guaranteed to be zeroed out.
This could potentially cause issues as applications might have been
relying on the allocated memory being zeroed out.

On init all allocated memory is zeroed by the kernel, so by zeroing out
memory on free, all available dpdk memory is always zeroed.

Fixes: fafcc11985a2 ("mem: rework memzone to be allocated by malloc")
