hw/audio/cs4231a: skip automatic zero-init of large arrays

The 'cs_write_audio' method has a pair of byte arrays, one 4k in size
and one 8k, which are used in converting audio samples. Skip the
automatic zero-init of these arrays to eliminate the performance
overhead in the I/O hot path.

The 'tmpbuf' array will be fully initialized when reading a block of
data from the guest. The 'linbuf' array will be fully initialized
when converting the audio samples.
