    kvm/x86: clear hyperv synic pages only when guest modifies MSRs
    
    Existing code resets guest synic message and event flag pages to zero
    when host (but not guest) updates their guest PAs by writing to
    corresponding MSRs.
    
    This turned out to be a problem for migration code when guest had a
    SYNIC irq to inject before suspending. After resuming qemu resets MSRs to
    saved values and KVM zeroes out migrated guest memory as a side effect.
    Following that guest sees an IRQ but doesn't see any event flags in event
    flags page, skips this IRQ and hangs indefinitely.
    
    This change fixes failing migration scenario by checking that pages are
    cleared by guest MSR write only.
