[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.0 79/98] KVM: nVMX: Do not inherit quadrant and invalid for the root shadow EPT

[ Upstream commit 552c69b1dc714854a5f4e27d37a43c6d797adf7d ]

Explicitly zero out quadrant and invalid instead of inheriting them from
the root_mmu. Functionally, this patch is a nop as we (should) never
set quadrant for a direct mapped (EPT) root_mmu and nested EPT is only
allowed if EPT is used for L1, and the root_mmu will never be invalid at
this point.

Explicitly setting flags sets the stage for repurposing the legacy
paging bits in role, e.g. nxe, cr0_wp, and sm{a,e}p_andnot_wp, at which
point 'smm' would be the only flag to be inherited from root_mmu.
