chardev/char-socket: skip automatic zero-init of large array
The 'tcp_chr_read' method has a 4k byte array used for copying
data between the socket and 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 reading data off
the network socket.
