Subject: [PATCH] KVM: VMX: Ensure unused kvm_tdx_capabilities fields are
 zeroed out

Zero-allocate the kernel's kvm_tdx_capabilities structure and copy only
the number of CPUID entries from the userspace structure.  As is, KVM
doesn't ensure kernel_tdvmcallinfo_1_{r11,r12} and user_tdvmcallinfo_1_r12
are zeroed, i.e. KVM will reflect whatever happens to be in the userspace
structure back at usersepace, and thus may report garbage to userspace.

Zeroing the entire kernel structure also provides better semantics for the
reserved field.  E.g. if KVM extends kvm_tdx_capabilities to enumerate new
information by repurposing bytes from the reserved field, userspace would
be required to zero the new field in order to get useful information back
(because older KVMs without support for the repurposed field would report
garbage, a la the aforementioned tdvmcallinfo bugs).
