KVM: SVM: Remove a useless zeroing of allocated memory
Remove KVM's unnecessary zeroing of memory when allocating the pages array
in sev_pin_memory() via __vmalloc(), as the array is only used to hold
kernel pointers. The kmalloc() path for "small" regions doesn't zero the
array, and if KVM leaks state and/or accesses uninitialized data, then the
kernel has bigger problems.
