x86/hyperv: Add kexec/kdump support on Azure CVMs

Azure CVM instance types featuring a paravisor hang upon kdump. The
investigation shows that makedumpfile causes a hang when it steps on a page
which was previously share with the host
(HVCALL_MODIFY_SPARSE_GPA_PAGE_HOST_VISIBILITY). The new kernel has no
knowledge of these 'special' regions (which are Vmbus connection pages,
GPADL buffers, ...). There are several ways to approach the issue:
- Convey the knowledge about these regions to the new kernel somehow.
- Unshare these regions before accessing in the new kernel (it is unclear
if there's a way to query the status for a given GPA range).
- Unshare these regions before jumping to the new kernel (which this patch
implements).

To make the procedure as robust as possible, store PFN ranges of shared
regions in a linked list instead of storing GVAs and re-using
hv_vtom_set_host_visibility(). This also allows to avoid memory allocation
on the kdump/kexec path.
