The logic in commit 2a5f1b67ec57 "KVM: arm64: Don't access PMCR_EL0 when no
PMU is available" relies on an empty reset handler being benign.  This was
not the case in earlier kernel versions, so the stable backport of this
patch is causing problems.

KVMs behaviour in this area changed over time. In particular, prior to commit
03fdfb269009 ("KVM: arm64: Don't write junk to sysregs on reset"), an empty
reset handler will trigger a warning, as the guest registers have been
poisoned.
Prior to commit 20589c8cc47d ("arm/arm64: KVM: Don't panic on failure to
properly reset system registers"), this warning was a panic().

Instead of reverting the backport, make it write 0 to the sys_reg[] array.
This keeps the reset logic happy, and the dodgy value can't be seen by
the guest as it can't request the emulation.

The original bug was accessing the PMCR_EL0 register on CPUs that don't
implement that feature. There is no known silicon that does this, but
v4.9's ACPI support is unable to find the PMU, so triggers this code:
