x86/hyper-v: Use hypercall for remote TLB flush
Hyper-V host can suggest us to use hypercall for doing remote TLB flush,
this is supposed to work faster than IPIs.
Implementation details: to do HvFlushVirtualAddress{Space,List} hypercalls
we need to put the input somewhere in memory and we don't really want to
have memory allocation on each call so we pre-allocate per cpu memory areas
on boot.
pv_ops patching is happening very early so we need to separate
hyperv_setup_mmu_ops() and hyper_alloc_mmu().
It is possible and easy to implement local TLB flushing too and there is
even a hint for that. However, I don't see a room for optimization on the
host side as both hypercall and native tlb flush will result in vmexit. The
hint is also not set on modern Hyper-V versions.
