hw/scsi/lsi53c895a: skip automatic zero-init of large array

The 'lsi_memcpy' method has a 4k byte array used for copying data
to/from the 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 data is copied.
