[PATCH v12 08/22] selftests/vm: clear the bits in shadow reg when a pkey is freed.

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. cc: Dave Hansen cc: Florian Weimer
