xen/mm: zero PTEs for non-present MFNs in the initial page table
When constructing the initial page tables, if the MFN for a usable PFN is missing in the p2m then that frame is initially ballooned out. In this case, zero the PTE (as in decrease_reservation() in drivers/xen/balloon.c). This is obviously safe instead of having an valid PTE with an MFN of INVALID_P2M_ENTRY (~0).
