Subject: [PATCH 2/4] x86/hyper-v: use 'fast' hypercall for HVCALL_SEND_IPI

Current Hyper-V TLFS (v5.0b) claims that HvCallSendSyntheticClusterIpi
hypercall can't be 'fast' (passing parameters through registers) but
apparently this is not true, Windows always uses 'fast' version. We can
do the same in Linux too.
