[PATCH] x86/hyperv: Suspend/resume the VP assist page for hibernation

Unlike the other CPUs, CPU0 is never offlined during hibernation. So in the
resume path, the "new" kernel's VP assist page is not suspended (i.e.
disabled), and later when we jump to the "old" kernel, the page is not
properly re-enabled for CPU0 with the allocated page from the old kernel.

So far, the VP assist page is only used by hv_apic_eoi_write(). When the
page is not properly re-enabled, hvp->apic_assist is always 0, so the
HV_X64_MSR_EOI MSR is always written. This is not ideal with respect to
performance, but Hyper-V can still correctly handle this.

The issue is: the hypervisor can corrupt the old kernel memory, and hence
sometimes cause unexpected behaviors, e.g. when the old kernel's non-boot
CPUs are being onlined in the resume path, the VM can hang or be killed
due to virtual triple fault.

Fix the issue by calling hv_cpu_die()/hv_cpu_init() in the syscore ops.

Without the fix, hibernation can fail at a rate of 1/300 ~ 1/500.
With the fix, hibernation can pass a long-haul test of 2000 rounds.
