RH-MergeRequest: 461: Solve -ftrivial-auto-var-init performance regression with QEMU_UNINITIALIZED
RH-Jira: RHEL-99887

RH-Commit: [5/30] 09be65fa8c25dadbd472321cacc96badf0a2d963
The 'pty_chr_read' method has a 4k byte array used for copying
data between the PTY 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 PTY.
