KVM: SVM: Clear the CR4 register on reset

Browse Source 
This problem was reported on a SVM guest while executing kexec.
Kexec fails to load the new kernel when the PCID feature is enabled.

When kexec starts loading the new kernel, it starts the process by
resetting the vCPU's and then bringing each vCPU online one by one.
The vCPU reset is supposed to reset all the register states before the
vCPUs are brought online. However, the CR4 register is not reset during
this process. If this register is already setup during the last boot,
all the flags can remain intact. The X86_CR4_PCIDE bit can only be
enabled in long mode. So, it must be enabled much later in SMP
initialization.  Having the X86_CR4_PCIDE bit set during SMP boot can
cause a boot failures.

Fix the issue by resetting the CR4 register in init_vmcb().
