Indeed it does! So commit 8b7fd6a15f8c is good, and the root cause
is that probing in the Hyper-V mouse HID driver is structured incorrectly.
Somehow the driver has worked the past 12 years, until commit 
8b7fd6a15f8c came along. But the fix should be in the Hyper-V mouse
driver. I looked to see if any other HID drivers have the same problem
as the Hyper-V mouse HID driver, and I don't think there are any. So
this is truly a one-off issue.

This thread can be considered closed. We'll provide the resolution
via the above patch from Vitaly Kuznetsov.
