V4L/DVB: drivers/media: drop redundant memset

Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

The region set by the call to memset is immediately overwritten by the
subsequent call to memcpy.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// 
@@
expression e1,e2,e3,e4;
@@

- memset(e1,e2,e3);
  memcpy(e1,e4,e3);
//
