[PATCH 3/3] KVM: x86: Explicitly zero kvm_caps during vendor module load

[Sean Christopherson]

Zero out all of kvm_caps when loading a new vendor module to ensure that
KVM can't inadvertently rely on global initialization of a field, and add
a comment above the definition of kvm_caps to call out that all fields
needs to be explicitly computed during vendor module load.
