Subject: samples/bpf: fix trace_output example

From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@fb.com>

[ Upstream commit 569cc39d39385a74b23145496bca2df5ac8b2fb8 ]

llvm cannot always recognize memset as builtin function and optimize
it away, so just delete it. It was a leftover from testing
of bpf_perf_event_output() with large data structures.
