[PULL 30/31] net/socket: skip automatic zero-init of large array

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

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

The 'net_socket_send' method has a 68k byte array used for copying
data between guest and host. Skip the automatic zero-init of this
array to eliminate the performance overhead in the I/O hot path.

The 'buf1' array will be fully initialized when reading data off
the network socket.
