mshv_do_pre_guest_mode_work() ended up getting left behind since its removal was
in the last mshv_vtl patch.

  $ git grep mshv_do_pre_guest_mode_work
  drivers/hv/mshv.h:int mshv_do_pre_guest_mode_work(ulong th_flags);
  drivers/hv/mshv_common.c:int mshv_do_pre_guest_mode_work(ulong th_flags)
  drivers/hv/mshv_common.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(mshv_do_pre_guest_mode_work);

Want to squash this into 3786d7d6b3c0 ("mshv: Use common "entry virt" APIs to do
work in root before running guest")?
