Drivers: hv: vmbus: Deactivate sysctl_record_panic_msg by default in isolated guests
[ Upstream commit 9f8b577f7b43b2170628d6c537252785dcc2dcea ]
hv_panic_page might contain guest-sensitive information, do not dump it
over to Hyper-V by default in isolated guests.
While at it, update some comments in hyperv_{panic,die}_event().
