Initialize vmcs01.VM_EXIT_MSR_STORE_ADDR to point at the vCPU's msr_autostore list in anticipation of utilizing the auto-store functionality, and to harden KVM against stray reads to pfn 0 (or, in theory, a random pfn if the underlying CPU uses a complex scheme for encoding VMCS data). The MSR auto lists are supposed to be ignored if the associated COUNT VMCS field is '0', but leaving the ADDR field zero-initialized in memory is an unnecessary risk (albeit a minuscule risk) given that the cost is a single VMWRITE during vCPU creation.
