Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86/mmu: Set mmio_value to '0' if reserved #PF can't be generated

Set the mmio_value to '0' instead of simply clearing the present bit to
squash a benign warning in kvm_mmu_set_mmio_spte_mask() that complains
about the mmio_value overlapping the lower GFN mask on systems with 52
bits of PA space.

Opportunistically clean up the code and comments.

Fixes: 608831174100 ("KVM: x86: only do L1TF workaround on affected processors")

Thanks for the excuse to clean up kvm_set_mmio_spte_mask(), been wanting a
reason to fix that mess for a few months now :-).
