KVM: Use syscore_ops instead of reboot_notifier to hook restart/shutdown

Browse source

Use syscore_ops.shutdown to disable hardware virtualization during a
reboot instead of using the dedicated reboot_notifier so that KVM disables
virtualization _after_ system_state has been updated.  This will allow
fixing a race in KVM's handling of a forced reboot where KVM can end up
enabling hardware virtualization between kernel_restart_prepare() and
machine_restart().

Rename KVM's hook to match the syscore op to avoid any possible confusion
from wiring up a "reboot" helper to a "shutdown" hook (neither "shutdown
nor "reboot" is completely accurate as the hook handles both).

Opportunistically rewrite kvm_shutdown()'s comment to make it less VMX
specific, and to explain why kvm_rebooting exists.
