kvm: svm: reset mmu on VCPU reset
When INIT/SIPI sequence is sent to VCPU which before that
was in use by OS, VMRUN might fail with:
KVM: entry failed, hardware error 0xffffffff

What happens is that VCPU state right after offlinig:
CR0: 0x80050033 EFER: 0xd01 CR4: 0x7e0
-> long mode with CR3 pointing to longmode page tables
and when VCPU gets INIT/SIPI following transition happens
CR0: 0 -> 0x60000010 EFER: 0x0 CR4: 0x7e0
-> paging disabled with stale CR3
However SVM under the hood puts VCPU in Paged Real Mode*
which effectively translates CR0 0x60000010 -> 80010010 after
svm_vcpu_reset()
-> init_vmcb()
-> kvm_set_cr0()
-> svm_set_cr0()
but from kvm_set_cr0() perspective CR0: 0 -> 0x60000010
only caching bits are changed and
commit d81135a57aa6
("KVM: x86: do not reset mmu if CR0.CD and CR0.NW are changed")'
regressed svm_vcpu_reset() which relied on MMU being reset.
As result VMRUN after svm_vcpu_reset() tries to run
VCPU in Paged Real Mode with stale MMU context (longmode page tables),
which causes some AMD CPUs** to bail out with VMEXIT_INVALID.
Fix issue by unconditionally resetting MMU context
at init_vmcb() time.
