[PATCH] kvm: kvm_clear_guest_page(): fix empty_zero_page usage

[Heiko Carstens]

Using the address of 'empty_zero_page' as source address in order to clear
a page is wrong. On some architectures empty_zero_page is only the pointer
to the struct page of the empty_zero_page.
Therefore the clear page operation would copy the contents of a couple of
struct pages instead of clearing a page.
For kvm only arm64 is affected by this bug.

To fix this use the ZERO_PAGE macro instead which will return the struct
page address of the empty_zero_page on all architectures.
