RH-MergeRequest: 461: Solve -ftrivial-auto-var-init performance regression with QEMU_UNINITIALIZED

RH-Commit: [4/30] e9adf42d47ddd90cc15862e711de0a90d1d25e0a
The 'fd_chr_read' method has a 4k byte array used for copying
data between the socket and device. Skip the automatic zero-init
of this array to eliminate the performance overhead in the I/O
hot path.
The 'buf' array will be fully initialized when reading data off
the network socket.
