hw/misc/aspeed_hace: skip automatic zero-init of large array

The 'do_hash_operation' method has a 256 element iovec array used for
holding pointers to data that is to be hashed. Skip the automatic
zero-init of this array to eliminate the performance overhead in the
I/O hot path.

The 'iovec' array will be selectively initialized based on data that
needs to be hashed.
