[PULL 05/31] chardev/char-pty: skip automatic zero-init of large array

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

From: Daniel P. Berrangé <berra...@redhat.com>

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.
