[PATCH 5.11 115/152] KVM: x86/mmu: Dont redundantly clear TDP MMU pt memory

[ Upstream commit 734e45b329d626d2c14e2bcf8be3d069a33c3316 ]

The KVM MMU caches already guarantee that shadow page table memory will
be zeroed, so there is no reason to re-zero the page in the TDP MMU page
fault handler.

No functional change intended.
