Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/hyperv: Set pv_info.name to "Hyper-V"

Michael reported that the x86/hyperv initialization code printed the
following dmesg when running in a VM on Hyper-V:

  [    0.000738] Booting paravirtualized kernel on bare hardware

Let the x86/hyperv initialization code set pv_info.name to "Hyper-V";
with this addition, the dmesg read:

  [    0.000172] Booting paravirtualized kernel on Hyper-V

Reported-by: Michael Kelley <mikelley@...rosoft.com>
Signed-off-by: Andrea Parri <parri.andrea@...il.com>

Changes since v1 ([1]):
  - move the setting of pv_info.name to ms_hyperv_init_platform() (Wei Liu)
