KVM: s390: Properly reset zero bit in PGSTE

Browse Source 
In case of memory pressure, it's possible that a guest page gets freed
and then almost immediately reused by the guest. If CMMA is enabled,
_essa_clear_cbrl() will discard all pages that are either unused or
zero. If a discarded page is reused before _essa_clear_cbrl() is called,
and the pgste.zero bit is not cleared, the page will be discarded
despite not being unused.

When calling _gmap_ptep_xchg(), always clear the pgste.zero bit. This
prevents the page from being accidentally discarded when not unused.
