When initialing a prz, if invalid data is found (no PERSISTENT_RAM_SIG),
the function call path looks like this:
ramoops_init_prz ->
persistent_ram_new -> persistent_ram_post_init -> persistent_ram_zap
persistent_ram_zap
As we can see, persistent_ram_zap() is called twice.
We can avoid this by adding an option to persistent_ram_new(), and
only call persistent_ram_zap() when it is needed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
