set_xcr0() and set_msr_xss() use cached value to avoid setting the
register to the same value over and over. But suspend/resume implicitly
reset the registers and since percpu areas are not deallocated on
suspend anymore, the cache gets stale.
Reset the cache on resume, to ensure the next write will really hit the
hardware. Choose value 0, as it will never be a legitimate write to
those registers - and so, will force write (and cache update).

Note the cache is used io get_xcr0() and get_msr_xss() too, but:
- set_xcr0() is called few lines below in xstate_init(), so it will
  update the cache with appropriate value
- get_msr_xss() is not used anywhere - and thus not before any
  set_msr_xss() that will fill the cache
