Explicitly zero the guest's CR3 and mark it available+dirty at RESET/INIT.
Per Intel's SDM and AMD's APM, CR3 is zeroed at both RESET and INIT.  For
RESET, this is a nop as vcpu is zero-allocated.  For INIT, the bug has
likely escaped notice because no firmware/kernel puts its page tables root
at PA=0, let alone relies on INIT to get the desired CR3 for such page
tables.

kvm_register_mark_dirty() is redundant here as PATCH1 does

      vcpu->arch.regs_avail = ~0;
      vcpu->arch.regs_dirty = ~0;

just a few lines above. The dependency is, however, implicit and this
patch is marked for stable@ (well, PATCH1 has 8 Fixes: tags so I'd
expect it to get picked by everyone too, especially by robots) and
flipping two bits is cheap.

Scratch that, kvm_vcpu_reset() and kvm_arch_vcpu_create() got mixed up
in my head :-(

Queued patches 1-2 for 5.15-rc3, thanks.
