KVM: x86: Replace memset() "optimization" with normal per-field writes
Explicitly zero select fields in the emulator's decode cache instead of
zeroing the fields via a gross memset() that spans six fields. gcc and
clang are both clever enough to batch the first five fields into a single
quadword MOV, i.e. memset() and individually zeroing generate identical
code.
Removing the wart also prepares KVM for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing
compile-time and run-time field bounds checking for memset().
No functional change intended.
