[PATCH] tools/libxc: Drop copy-in in xc_physinfo()

[Andrew Cooper]

The first thing XEN_SYSCTL_physinfo does is zero op->u.physinfo.

Do not copy-in.  It's pointless, and most callers don't initialise their
xc_physinfo_t buffer to begin with.  Remove the pointless zeroing from the
remaining callers.

Spotted by Coverity.
