coresight: Fix erroneous memset in tmc_read_unprepare_etr
At the end of a trace collection, we try to clear the entire buffer
and enable the ETR back if it was already enabled. But, we would have
adjusted the drvdata->buf to point to the beginning of the trace data
in the trace buffer @drvdata->vaddr. So, the following code which
clears the buffer is dangerous and can cause crashes, like below :
memset(drvdata->buf, 0, drvdata->size);

Since we clear the buffer anyway in the following call to
tmc_etr_enable_hw(), remove the erroneous memset().
