Subject: KVM: MMU: Reset mmu->pkru_mask to avoid stale data
From: Chenyi Qiang <chenyi.qiang@xxxxxxxxx>
commit a3ca5281bb771d8103ea16f0a6a8a5df9a7fb4f3 upstream.
When updating mmu->pkru_mask, the value can only be added but it isn't
reset in advance. This will make mmu->pkru_mask keep the stale data.
Fix this issue.
Fixes: 2d344105f57c ("KVM, pkeys: introduce pkru_mask to cache conditions")
