hw/scsi/megasas: skip automatic zero-init of large arrays

The 'megasas_dcmd_pd_get_list' and 'megasas_dcmd_get_properties'
methods have 4k structs used for copying data from the device.
Skip the automatic zero-init of this array to eliminate the
performance overhead in the I/O hot path.

The 'info' structs are manually initialized with memset(). The
compiler ought to be intelligent enough to turn the memset()
into a static initialization operation, and thus not duplicate
the automatic zero-init. Replacing memset() with '{}' makes it
unambiguous that the arrays are statically initialized.
