[PATCH] KVM: X86: Remove stale values from ctxt->memop before emulation

When instruction decoding begins there could be stale values
in the ctxt->memop structure. This causes problems when an
instruction is emulated with more op-bytes then the guest
wants (like the bsr instruction which is always emulated
with 4 or 8 op-bytes).

The stale value in this structure causes the unit-test for
the bsrw instruction to fail. Initialize the memop.val with
0 to prevent such bugs (an alternative fix could be to
always emulate instructions with the number of op-bytes
requested by the guest).
