Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] mshv: Ignore second stats page map result failure

From: Purna Pavan Chandra Aekkaladevi <paekkaladevi@...ux.microsoft.com>

Older versions of the hypervisor do not support HV_STATS_AREA_PARENT
and return HV_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER for the second stats page
mapping request.

This results a failure in module init. Instead of failing, gracefully
fall back to populating stats_pages[HV_STATS_AREA_PARENT] with the
already-mapped stats_pages[HV_STATS_AREA_SELF].
