Subject: [PATCH v10 032/108] KVM: x86/mmu: Make sync_page not use hard-coded 0 as the initial SPTE value

From: Isaku Yamahata <isaku.yamahata@...el.com>

FNAME(sync_page) in arch/x86/kvm/mmu/paging_tmpl.h assumes that the initial
shadow page table entry (SPTE) is zero.  Remove the assumption by using
SHADOW_NONPRESENT_VALUE that will be updated from 0 to non-zero value.
