lib: disable usbfs zero-copy support by default

Although we added a detection mechanism for the presence of the Kernel
bug earlier, reading from the incorrectly mapped memory might cause a
bus error on some ARM systems.

With the overall performance benefit being rather minimal for the
data rates of rtl-sdr, disable zero-copy by default.
