Subject: [PATCH] KVM: MMU: Reset mmu->pkru_mask to avoid stale data

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")
