    xen/domctl: Fix Xen heap leak via XEN_DOMCTL_getvcpucontext
    
    The backing structure for XEN_DOMCTL_getvcpucontext is only zeroed in the 
x86
    HVM case.  At the very least, this means that ARM returns junk through its
    flags field (as it is only ever conditionally or'd into), and x86 PV leaks
    data through gdt_frames[14...15].  (An exhaustive search for other leaks
    hasn't been performed).
    
    Unconditionally zero the memory upon allocation, and forgo the double clear
    for x86 HVM.  These hypercalls are not on hotpaths.
    
    Note that this does not qualify for an XSA.  Per XSA-77,
    XEN_DOMCTL_getvcpucontext is unsafe for disaggregation, meaning that only 
the
    control domain can use this hypercall.
