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.
