Subject: [PATCH v2 7/7] Revert "KVM: selftests: Fix nested SVM tests when
 built with clang"

Revert back to using memset() in generic_svm_setup() now that KVM
selftests override memset() and friends specifically to prevent the
compiler from generating fancy code and/or linking to the libc
implementation.

This reverts commit ed290e1c20da19fa100a3e0f421aa31b65984960.
