Subject: [PATCH] KVM: MMU: Reset mmu->pkru_mask to avoid stale data
When updating mmu->pkru_mask, the value can only be added but it isn't
reset in advance. This will make mmu->pkru_mask keep the stale data.
Fix this issue.
Fixes: 2d344105f57c ("KVM, pkeys: introduce pkru_mask to cache conditions")
