virtio: don't zero out memory region cache for indirect descriptors

Browse Source 
Lots of virtio functions that are on a hot path in data transmission
are initializing indirect descriptor cache at the point of stack
allocation.  It's a 112 byte structure that is getting zeroed out on
each call adding unnecessary overhead.  It's going to be correctly
initialized later via special init function.  The only reason to
actually initialize right away is the ability to safely destruct it.
Replacing a designated initializer with a function to only initialize
what is necessary.

Removal of the unnecessary stack initializations improves throughput
of virtio-net devices in terms of 64B packets per second by 6-14 %
depending on the case.  Tested with a proposed af-xdp network backend
and a dpdk testpmd application in the guest, but should be beneficial
for other virtio devices as well.
