x86/hyperv: Fix kernel panic when kexec on HyperV
After commit 68bb7bfb7985 ("X86/Hyper-V: Enable IPI enlightenments"), kexec fails with a kernel panic: kexec_core: Starting new kernel BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 Hardware name: Microsoft Corporation Virtual Machine/Virtual Machine, BIOS Hyper-V UEFI Release v3.0 03/02/2018 RIP: 0010:0xffffc9000001d000 Call Trace: ? __send_ipi_mask+0x1c6/0x2d0 ? hv_send_ipi_mask_allbutself+0x6d/0xb0 ? mp_save_irq+0x70/0x70 ? __ioapic_read_entry+0x32/0x50 ? ioapic_read_entry+0x39/0x50 ? clear_IO_APIC_pin+0xb8/0x110 ? native_stop_other_cpus+0x6e/0x170 ? native_machine_shutdown+0x22/0x40 ? kernel_kexec+0x136/0x156 That happens if hypercall based IPIs are used because the hypercall page is reset very early upon kexec reboot, but kexec sends IPIs to stop CPUs, which invokes the hypercall and dereferences the unusable page. To fix his, reset hv_hypercall_pg to NULL before the page is reset to avoid any misuse, IPI sending will fall back to the non hypercall based method. This only happens on kexec / kdump so just setting the pointer to NULL is good enough.
