The trialmask is expected to have all bits set to 0 after allocation.
Currently kmalloc_array() is used which does not zero the memory and so
random bits are set. This results in random channels being enabled when
they shouldn't. Replace kmalloc_array() with kcalloc() which has the same
interface but zeros the memory.

I'll send a V2 with the Fixes tag.
