Why do we need to set the page as decrypted here and not when we
allocate the page (a few lines above)? And why do we need to clear it
_after_ we made it decrypted? In case we care about not leaking the
stale content to the hypervisor, we should've cleared it _before_, but
the bigger problem I see is that memset() is problemmatic e.g. for KVM
which uses enlightened VMCS. You put a CPU offline and then back online
and this path will be taken. Clearing VP assist page will likely brake
things. (AFAIU SEV-SNP Hyper-V guests don't expose SVM yet so the
problem is likely theoretical only, but still).
