Commit 96c1d0581d00f7abe033350edb021a9d947d8d81 ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Add support for VMBus panic notifier handler") introduced atomic_notifier_chain_register() call on module load. We also need to call atomic_notifier_chain_unregister() on module unload as otherwise the following crash is observed when we bring hv_vmbus back: [ 39.788877] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffa00078a8 [ 39.788877] IP: [<ffffffff8109d63f>] notifier_call_chain+0x3f/0x80 ...
