hw/audio/gus: skip automatic zero-init of large array

The 'GUS_read_DMA' method has a 4k byte array used for copying
data between the audio backend and device. Skip the automatic
zero-init of this array to eliminate the performance overhead in
the I/O hot path.

The 'tmpbuf' array will be fully initialized when reading data
from device memory.
