misc: vmw_vmci: fix kernel info-leak by initializing dbells in vmci_ctx_get_chkpt_doo...

commit 31dcb6c30a26d32650ce134820f27de3c675a45a upstream.

A kernel-infoleak was reported by syzbot, which was caused because
dbells was left uninitialized.
Using kzalloc() instead of kmalloc() fixes this issue.
