In reset_tdp_shadow_zero_bits_mask, we always pass false
when initializing the reserved bits. By initializing with the
correct value of ept exec only, the host can correctly
identify if the guest pte is valid. Note that
kvm_init_shadow_ept_mmu() already knows about execonly.

It is not necessary. reset_tdp_shadow_zero_bits_mask() is used for
the guest without nested-ept, host never sets shadow execute-only
actively.

For the nested ept guest, kvm_init_shadow_ept_mmu() has already
handled xonly case perfectly.
