The crash handler calls hv_synic_cleanup() to shutdown the Hyper-V synthetic interrupt controller. But if the CPU that calls hv_synic_cleanup() has a VMbus channel interrupt assigned to it (which is likely the case in smaller VM sizes), hv_synic_cleanup() returns an error and the synthetic interrupt controller isn't shutdown. While the lack of being shutdown hasn't caused a known problem, it still should be fixed for highest reliability. So directly call hv_synic_disable_regs() instead of hv_synic_cleanup(), which ensures that the synic is always shutdown.
