For Root partition the VP assist pages are pre-determined by the
hypervisor. The Root kernel is not allowed to change them to
different locations. And thus, we are getting below stack as in
current implementation Root is trying to perform write to specific
MSR.

Since, the hypervisor already provides the VP assist page for root
partition, we need to memremap the memory from hypervisor for root
kernel to use. The mapping is done in hv_cpu_init during bringup and
is unmaped in hv_cpu_die during teardown.

changelog:
v1: initial patch
v2: commit message changes, removal of HV_MSR_APIC_ACCESS_AVAILABLE
check and addition of null check before reading the VP assist MSR
for root partition
v3: added new data structure to handle VP ASSIST MSR page and done
handling in hv_cpu_init and hv_cpu_die
v4: better code alignment, VP ASSIST handling correction for root
partition in hv_cpu_die and renaming of hv_vp_assist_msr_contents
attribute
v5: disable VP ASSIST page for root partition during hv_cpu_die
