KVM: Don't set Accessed/Dirty bits for ZERO_PAGE
Don't set Accessed/Dirty bits for a struct page with PG_reserved set, i.e. don't set A/D bits for the ZERO_PAGE. The ZERO_PAGE (or pages depending on the architecture) should obviously never be written, and similarly there's no point in marking it accessed as the page will never be swapped out or reclaimed. The comment in page-flags.h is quite clear that PG_reserved pages should be managed only by their owner, and strictly following that mandate also simplifies KVM's logic.
