RxRPC: Allocate tokens with kzalloc to avoid oops in rxrpc_destroy

With slab poisoning enabled, I see the following oops:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x6b6b6b6b6b6b6b73
  ...
  NIP [c0000000006bc61c] .rxrpc_destroy+0x44/0x104

  [c0000000feb2bf90] [c000000000020e00] .kernel_thread+0x54/0x70

We aren't initialising token->next, but the code in destroy_context relies
on the list being NULL terminated. Use kzalloc to zero out all the fields.
