Subject: [PATCH V3 10/11] drivers/hv/vmbus, video/hyperv_fb: Untangle and refactor Hyper-V panic notifiers

Currently Hyper-V guests are among the most relevant users of the panic
infrastructure, like panic notifiers, kmsg dumpers, etc. The reasons rely
both in cleaning-up procedures (closing hypervisor <-> guest connection,
disabling some paravirtualized timer) as well as to data collection
(sending panic information to the hypervisor) and framebuffer management.

The thing is: some notifiers are related to others, ordering matters, some
functionalities are duplicated and there are lots of conditionals behind
sending panic information to the hypervisor. As part of an effort to
clean-up the panic notifiers mechanism and better document things, we
hereby address some of the issues/complexities of Hyper-V panic handling
through the following changes:

(a) We have die and panic notifiers on vmbus_drv.c and both have goals of
sending panic information to the hypervisor, though the panic notifier is
also responsible for a cleaning-up procedure.

This commit clears the code by splitting the panic notifier in two, one
for closing the vmbus connection whereas the other is only for sending
panic info to hypervisor. With that, it was possible to merge the die and
panic notifiers in a single/well-documented function, and clear some
conditional complexities on sending such information to the hypervisor.

(b) There is a Hyper-V framebuffer panic notifier, which relies in doing
a vmbus operation that demands a valid connection. So, we must order this
notifier with the panic notifier from vmbus_drv.c, to guarantee that the
framebuffer code executes before the vmbus connection is unloaded.

Also, this commit removes a useless header.

Although there is code rework and re-ordering, we expect that this change
has no functional regressions but instead optimize the path and increase
panic reliability on Hyper-V. This was tested on Hyper-V with success.

V3:
- Added Michael's review tag - thanks!

V2:
- Unfortunately we cannot rely in the crash shutdown (custom) handler
to perform the vmbus unload - arm64 architecture doesn't have this
"feature" [0]. So, in V2 we kept the notifier behavior and always
unload the vmbus connection, no matter what - thanks Michael for
pointing that;

- Removed the Fixes tags as per Michael suggestion;

- As per Petr suggestion, we abandoned the idea of distinguish among
notifiers using an id - so, in V2 we rely in the old and good address
comparison for that. Thanks Petr for the enriching discussion!
