[RFC v6 48/62] selftest/vm: clear the bits in shadow reg when a pkey is freed.

From: Ram Pai <hidden>
Date: 2017-07-16 04:04:06
Also in: linux-arch, linuxppc-dev, lkml
Subsystem: kernel selftest framework, the rest · Maintainers: Shuah Khan, Linus Torvalds

When a key is freed, the  key  is  no  more  effective.
Clear the bits corresponding to the pkey in the shadow
register. Otherwise  it  will carry some spurious bits
which can trigger false-positive asserts.
