[PATCH v8 1/5] x86/hyperv: Add support for detecting nested hypervisor

[Jinank Jain <jinankjain@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Detect if Linux is running as a nested hypervisor in the root
partition for Microsoft Hypervisor, using flags provided by MSHV.
Expose a new variable hv_nested that is used later for decisions
specific to the nested use case.
