    [PowerPC] Don't zero-initialize vector register buffers

    Now that linux-tdep.c already zero-initializes the buffer used for
    generating core file notes, there is no need to do this in the linux
    collect functions for the vector regset.  The memsets in gdbserver were
    not useful to begin with.

    gdb/ChangeLog:
    2018-10-26  Pedro Franco de Carvalho  <pedromfc@linux.ibm.com>

        * ppc-linux-tdep.c (ppc_linux_collect_vrregset): Remove.
        (ppc32_le_linux_vrregset, ppc32_be_linux_vrregset): Replace
        ppc_linux_collect_vrregset by regcache_collect_regset.

    gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
    2018-10-26  Pedro Franco de Carvalho  <pedromfc@linux.ibm.com>

        * linux-ppc-low.c (ppc_fill_vrregset): Remove memset calls.
