[PATCH V3 4/6] x86/Hyper-V: Report crash register data or ksmg before running crash kernel

[ltykernel@gmail.com]

From: Tianyu Lan <Tianyu.Lan@microsoft.com>

We want to notify Hyper-V when a Linux guest VM crash occurs, so
there is a record of the crash even when kdump is enabled.   But
crash_kexec_post_notifiers defaults to "false", so the kdump kernel
runs before the notifiers and Hyper-V never gets notified.  Fix this by
always setting crash_kexec_post_notifiers to be true for Hyper-V VMs.
