Spurious word "ever". And avoid first person "we". Perhaps:
The same issue is fixed for hibernation in commit ..... . Now fix it for kexec.

Is the VP Assist Page getting cleared anywhere on the panic path? We can
only do it for the CPU that runs panic(), but I don't think it is getting cleared
even for that CPU. It is cleared only in hv_cpu_die(), and that's not called on
the panic path.

I would note that the comment in hv_suspend() is also incorrect on this
point. Setting hv_hypercall_pg to NULL does not cause subsequent
hypercalls to fail safely. The fast hypercalls don't test for it, and even if they
did test like hv_do_hypercall(), the test just creates a race condition.

Actually, crash_smp_send_stop() or smp_send_stop() has already been
called earlier by panic(), so there's already only a single CPU running at
this point. crash_smp_send_stop() is called again in
native_machine_crash_shutdown(), but it has a flag to prevent it from
running again.

Moving the call to hyperv_cleanup() in the panic path is OK, and it makes
the panic and kexec() paths more similar, but I don't think it is necessary.
As noted above, the other CPUs have already been stopped, so they shouldn't
be executing any hypercalls.
