Subject: [PATCH char-misc 1/1] x86/hyperv: Fix PIT shutdown quirk

pit_shutdown() doesn't work on Hyper-V because of a quirk in the
PIT emulation. After shutdown the emulated PIT continues to interrupt
every 18.2 seconds. This problem exists in all versions of Hyper-V
and just had not previously been noticed. So replace the normal PIT
shutdown function with an alternate version that works on Hyper-V.

The alternate shutdown function could go in the i8253.c module,
but it seems better to keep the hack with the Hyper-V code rather
than clutter up i8253.c with #ifdef CONFIG_HYPERV.
