KVM: MMU: drop zeroing on mmu_memory_cache_alloc

Browse source 
Zeroing on mmu_memory_cache_alloc is unnecessary since:

- Smaller areas are pre-allocated with kmem_cache_zalloc.
- Page pointed by ->spt is overwritten with prefetch_page
  and entries in page pointed by ->gfns are initialized
  before reading.

[avi: zeroing pages is unnecessary]
