The main reason behind that is that Hyper-V has an hypervisor notification mechanism that has the ability of warning the hypervisor when the guest panics. Happens that after the panic notifiers refactor, we now have 3 lists and a level mechanism that defines the ordering of the notifiers execution with regards to kdump. And for Hyper-V, the specific notifier to inform the hypervisor about a panic lies in the first list, which *by default* is set to execute before kdump. Hence, this patch removes the hardcoded setting, effectively reverting the aforementioned commit. One of the problems with the forced approach was greatly exposed by commit d57d6fe5bf34 ("drivers: hv: log when enabling crash_kexec_post_notifiers") which ended-up confusing the user that didn't expect the notifiers to execute before kdump, since it's a user setting and wasn't enabled by such user. With the patch hereby proposed, that kind of issue doesn't happen anymore, the panic notifiers level is well-documented and users can expect a predictable behavior.
