Do we really need 'hyperv_init_cpuhp' at all? I.e. post-change (which
LGTM btw), I can only see one usage in hv_machine_shutdown():

   if (kexec_in_progress && hyperv_init_cpuhp > 0)
           cpuhp_remove_state(hyperv_init_cpuhp);

and I'm wondering if the 'hyperv_init_cpuhp' check is really
needed. This only case where this check would fail is if we're crashing
in between ms_hyperv_init_platform() and hyperv_init() afaiu. Does it
hurt if we try cpuhp_remove_state() anyway?
