Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Drivers: hv: vmus: Fix the check for return value from kmsg get dump buffer

From: Sunil Muthuswamy <sunilmut@...rosoft.com>

The code to support panic control message was checking the return was
checking the return value from kmsg_dump_get_buffer as error value, which
is not what the routine returns. This fixes it.

Fixes: 81b18bce48af ("Drivers: HV: Send one page worth of kmsg dump over Hyper-V during panic")
