[VTA] Performance optimize, remove unnecessary contigious memory use. (#4246)

* [VTA] Performance optimize, remove unnecessary contigious memory use.

Issue:
Uop maintain a cache vector to copy uop data into contigious DRAM memory for
FPGA/Simulator use, but this cache vector not get clear after FPGA/Simulator
core run, in Resnet18 case, if we printf the cache size in UopQueue::ReadBarrier
function, we can saw such cache size keep increase, this would cause
no use data copy and unnecessary contigous DRAM memory malloc.

Analysis:
This issue caused by not clear cache_ vector when do
uop_queue_.Reset().

Solution:
Override BaseQueue Reset function in UopQueue and add cache_ clear
logic.

* address review comments, remove spacing.
