Clear CF and ZF in the VM-Exit path after doing __FILL_RETURN_BUFFER so that KVM doesn't interpret clobbered RFLAGS as a VM-Fail. Filling the RSB has always clobbered RFLAGS, its current incarnation just happens clear CF and ZF in the processs. Relying on the macro to clear CF and ZF is extremely fragile, e.g. commit 089dd8e53126e ("x86/speculation: Change FILL_RETURN_BUFFER to work with objtool") tweaks the loop such that the ZF flag is always set.
