Before the hibernation patchset (e.g. f53335e3289f), a Linux VM on Hyper-V
can run "echo freeze > /sys/power/state" (or "systemctl suspend")
to freeze the system. The user can press the keyboard or move the mouse
to wake up the VM. Note: the two aforementioned commands are equivalent
here, because Hyper-V doesn't support the guest ACPI S3 state.
With the hibernation patchset, a Linux VM on Hyper-V can hibernate to disk
and resume back; however, the 'freeze' operation is broken for Hyper-V
Generation-2 VM (which doesn't have a legacy keyboard/mouse): when the
vmbus devices are suspended, the VM can not receive any interrupt from
the synthetic keyboard/mouse devices, so there is no way to wake up the
VM. This is not an issue for Generaton-1 VM, because it looks the legacy
keyboard/mouse devices can still be used to wake up the VM in my test.
IMO 'freeze' in a Linux VM on Hyper-V is not really useful in practice,
so let's disallow the operation for both Gen-1 and Gen-2 VMs, even if
it's not an issue for Gen-1 VMs.
Fixes: f53335e3289f ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Suspend/resume the vmbus itself for hibernation")
