kvm: svm: reset mmu on VCPU reset



When INIT/SIPI sequence is sent to VCPU which before that
was in use by OS, VMRUN might fail with:

 KVM: entry failed, hardware error 0xffffffff
 EAX=00000000 EBX=00000000 ECX=00000000 EDX=000006d3
 ESI=00000000 EDI=00000000 EBP=00000000 ESP=00000000

 [...]
 EFER=0000000000000000

with corresponding SVM error:
 KVM: FAILED VMRUN WITH VMCB:
 [...]
 cpl:            0                efer:         0000000000001000
 cr0:            0000000080010010 cr2:          00007fd7fe85bf90
 cr3:            0000000187d0c000 cr4:          0000000000000020
 [...]

What happens is that VCPU state right after offlinig:
CR0: 0x80050033  EFER: 0xd01  CR4: 0x7e0
  -> long mode with CR3 pointing to longmode page tables

and when VCPU gets INIT/SIPI following transition happens
CR0: 0 -> 0x60000010 EFER: 0x0  CR4: 0x7e0
  -> paging disabled with stale CR3

However SVM under the hood puts VCPU in Paged Real Mode*
which effectively translates CR0 0x60000010 -> 80010010 after

   svm_vcpu_reset()
       -> init_vmcb()
           -> kvm_set_cr0()
               -> svm_set_cr0()

but from  kvm_set_cr0() perspective CR0: 0 -> 0x60000010
only caching bits are changed and
commit d81135a5
 ("KVM: x86: do not reset mmu if CR0.CD and CR0.NW are changed")'
regressed svm_vcpu_reset() which relied on MMU being reset.

As result VMRUN after svm_vcpu_reset() tries to run
VCPU in Paged Real Mode with stale MMU context (longmode page tables),
which causes some AMD CPUs** to bail out with VMEXIT_INVALID.

Fix issue by unconditionally resetting MMU context
at init_vmcb() time.
