Set __GFP_ZERO for the shadow page memory cache and drop the explicit
clear_page() from kvm_mmu_get_page().  This moves the cost of zeroing a
page to the allocation time of the physical page, i.e. when topping up
the memory caches, and thus avoids having to zero out an entire page
while holding mmu_lock.
