Subject: [PATCH] x86/hyperv/vtl: Replace real_mode_header only under Hyper-V

Booting a CONFIG_HYPERV_VTL_MODE=y enabled kernel on bare metal or a
non-Hyper-V hypervisor leads to serve memory corruption as
hv_vtl_early_init() will run even though hv_vtl_init_platform() did not.
This skips no-oping the 'realmode_reserve' and 'realmode_init' platform
hooks, making init_real_mode() -> setup_real_mode() try to copy
'real_mode_blob' over 'real_mode_header' which we set to the stub
'hv_vtl_real_mode_header'. However, as 'real_mode_blob' isn't just a
'struct real_mode_header' -- it's the complete code! -- copying it over
'hv_vtl_real_mode_header' will corrupt quite some memory following it.

The real cause for this erroneous behaviour is that hv_vtl_early_init()
blindly assumes the kernel is running on Hyper-V, which it may not.

Fix this by making sure the code only replaces the real mode header with
the stub one iff the kernel is running under Hyper-V.
