Running in the root partition is a unique and specialized case that requires additional code. CONFIG_MSHV_ROOT allows Hyper-V guest kernels to exclude this code, which is important since significant additional code specific to the root partition is expected to be added over time. To do this, change hv_root_partition to be a function which is stubbed out to return false if CONFIG_MSHV_ROOT=n, and don't compile hv_proc.c at all, stubbing out those functions with inline versions. Store the partition type (guest or root) in an enum hv_current_partition_type, which can be extended beyond just guest and root partition. While at it, introduce hv_result_to_errno() to convert Hyper-V status codes to regular linux errors. This is useful because the caller of a hypercall helper function (such as those in hv_proc.c) usually can't and doesn't interpret the Hyper-V status, so it is better to convert it to an error code and reduce the possibility of misinterpreting it. This also alows the stubbed versions of the hv_proc.c functions to just return a linux error code.
