Summary

At least KMSAN relies on zero-initialization of AP PCPU regions, see
commit 4b136ef259ce ("amd64: Set GS.base before calling init_secondary() on APs").
Prior to commit af1c6d3f3013 these were allocated with allocpages() in
the amd64 pmap, which always returns zero-initialized memory.

Fixes: af1c6d3f3013 ("amd64: do not leak pcpu pages")
MFC after: 3 days

Why do you need a local var?

I just disliked the duplication.
