During Mmu initialization in the CpuDxe, for a page table any bits set 
in the 'NextSectionAttributes' are garbage and were set from bits that 
are actually part of the pagetable address.  We clear it out to zero 
so that the SyncCacheConfigPage will use the page attributes instead 
of trying to convert the (bogus) section attributes into page 
attributes.
