The 'do_hash_operation' method has a 256 element iovec array used for holding pointers to data that is to be hashed. Skip the automatic zero-init of this array to eliminate the performance overhead in the I/O hot path.
The 'iovec' array will be selectively initialized based on data that needs to be hashed. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
