alloc_uid: cleanup
Use kmem_cache_zalloc(), remove large amounts of initialisation code and ifdeffery. Note: this assumes that memset(*atomic_t, 0) correctly initialises the atomic_t. This is true for all present archtiectures and if it becomes false for a future architecture then we'll need to make large changes all over the place anyway.
