KVM: x86: Remove spurious clearing of async #PF MSR
Remove a bogus clearing of apf.msr_val from kvm_arch_vcpu_destroy(). apf.msr_val is only set to a non-zero value by kvm_pv_enable_async_pf(), which is only reachable by kvm_set_msr_common(), i.e. by writing MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_EN. KVM does not autonomously write said MSR, i.e. can only be written via KVM_SET_MSRS or KVM_RUN. Since KVM_SET_MSRS and KVM_RUN are vcpu ioctls, they require a valid vcpu file descriptor. kvm_arch_vcpu_destroy() is only called if KVM_CREATE_VCPU fails, and KVM declares KVM_CREATE_VCPU successful once the vcpu fd is installed and thus visible to userspace. Ergo, apf.msr_val cannot be non-zero when kvm_arch_vcpu_destroy() is called. Fixes: 344d9588a9df0 ("KVM: Add PV MSR to enable asynchronous page faults delivery.")
