The subject line says v2 but this is actually v3!

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_curr_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.

Changes in v3:
* Fix a typo [Easwar Hariharan]
* Fix ret being initialized to HV_STATUS_SUCCESS in some hypercall helpers
  [Michael Kelley]
* Fix CONFIG_MSHV_ROOT being used in patch 2, before it is defined [Michael
  Kelley]
* Shorten hv_current_partition_type to hv_curr_partition_type [Mukesh Rathor]

Changes in v2:
* Add patch to convert hypercall statuses to linux error codes [Easwar
  Hariharan]
* While at it, split the original patch into two logical pieces, one to change
  hv_root_partition into a function, and one to introduce MSHV_CONFIG_ROOT
* Improve the clarity of and add an error message to
  hv_identify_partition_type() [Easwar Hariharan] [Michael Kelley]
* Better explain *why* the patches are useful, in the commit messages [Michael
  Kelley]
* Add a Kconfig comment explaining why PAGE_SIZE_4KB is needed [Michael Kelley]
* Minor style and typo fixes
