We might have RISC-V systems (such as QEMU) where VMID is not part of the TLB entry tag so these systems will have to flush all TLB enteries upon any change in hgatp.VMID.
Currently, we zero-out hgatp CSR in kvm_arch_vcpu_put() and we re-program hgatp CSR in kvm_arch_vcpu_load(). For above described systems, this will flush all TLB enteries whenever VCPU exits to user-space hence reducing performance.
This patch fixes above described performance issue by not clearing hgatp CSR in kvm_arch_vcpu_put().
