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.
