hwtracing: hisi_ptt: Remove unnecessary trace buffer zeroing in trace_start()

hisi_ptt_trace_start() clears all four trace buffers before enabling
tracing.

This is unnecessary. On trace stop, hisi_ptt_update_aux() copies only
the number of bytes reported in HISI_PTT_TRACE_WR_STS. On buffer-full
interrupts, it copies a full completed buffer. In both cases the driver
only consumes data written by hardware.

Remove the buffer clearing from the trace start path.
