Subject: [PATCH V2 2/5] Drivers: hv: vmbus: unregister panic notifier on module unload

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@...hat.com>

Commit 96c1d0581d00f7abe033350edb021a9d947d8d81 ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Add
support for VMBus panic notifier handler") introduced
atomic_notifier_chain_register() call on module load. We also need to call
atomic_notifier_chain_unregister() on module unload as otherwise the following
crash is observed when we bring hv_vmbus back:
