Should already be fixed. Thanks!

KVM: x86: fix uninitialized variable use on KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT

If a triple fault was fixed by kvm_x86_ops.nested_ops->triple_fault (by
turning it into a vmexit), there is no need to leave vcpu_enter_guest().
Any vcpu->requests will be caught later before the actual vmentry,
and in fact vcpu_enter_guest() was not initializing the "r" variable.
Depending on the compiler's whims, this could cause the
x86_64/triple_fault_event_test test to fail.
