Subject: [PATCH 5.4 045/134] KVM: x86/mmu: Set mmio_value to 0 if reserved #PF cant be generated

From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@...el.com>

commit 6129ed877d409037b79866327102c9dc59a302fe upstream.

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.
