mshv_vtl_hvcall_call() copies output_size bytes to userspace.

The output page is freshly allocated. Userspace chooses the copyout length.

If the hypercall writes less, the tail can contain stale page data.

Clear the copied range before issuing the hypercall.

Also check both bounce page allocations before either page is used.
