[PATCH 06/10] Drivers: hv: vmbus: use 'die' notification chain instead of 'panic'

["K. Y. Srinivasan" <kys@microsoft.com>]

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com>

current_pt_regs() returns regs of the userspace process and in case of
kernel crash this is not what we need to report. E.g. when we trigger
crash with sysrq we see the following:
...
 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff815b8696>]  [<ffffffff815b8696>] sysrq_handle_crash+0x16/0x20
 RSP: 0018:ffff8800db0a7d88  EFLAGS: 00010246
 RAX: 000000000000000f RBX: ffffffff820a0660 RCX: 0000000000000000
...
at the same time current_pt_regs() give us:
ip=7f899ea7e9e0, ax=ffffffffffffffda, bx=26c81a0, cx=7f899ea7e9e0, ...
These registers come from the userspace process triggered the crash. As we
don't even know which process it was this information is rather useless.

When kernel crash happens proper regs are being passed to all receivers on
the die_chain (and panic_notifier_list is being notified with the string
passed to panic() only). Let's move our Hyper-V MSR reporter there. This
change has the following implication: when panic() is called manually from
some other part of kernel we won't be reporting crash to the hypervisor
(but we have no valuable information to report anyway).
