tools/vm/page-types.c: avoid memset() in walk_pfn() when count == 1

I found that page-types is very slow and my testing shows many timeout
errors.  Here's an example with a simple program allocating 1000 thps.

  $ time ./page-types -p $(pgrep -f test_alloc)
  ...
  real    0m17.201s
  user    0m16.889s
  sys     0m0.312s

Most of time is spent in memset().  Currently memset() clears over whole
buffer for every walk_pfn() call, which is inefficient when walk_pfn()
is called from walk_vma(), because in that case walk_pfn() is called for
each pfn.  So this patch limits the zero initialization only for the
first element.

  $ time ./page-types.patched -p $(pgrep -f test_alloc)
  ...
  real    0m0.182s
  user    0m0.046s
  sys     0m0.135s
