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.

[See BZ for analysis.  We may want a different fix for 3.11, but
 this is the safest for now - Paolo]
