x86: kvmclock: zero initialize pvclock shared memory area
kernel might hung in pvclock_clocksource_read() due to uninitialized memory might contain odd version value in following cycle: do { version = __pvclock_read_cycles(src, &ret, &flags); } while ((src->version & 1) || version != src->version); if secondary kvmclock is accessed before it's registered with kvm. Clear garbage in pvclock shared memory area right after it's allocated to avoid this issue.
