Nuno Das Neves 0e3f7d1200 hyperv-tlfs: Change prefix of generic HV_REGISTER_* MSRs to HV_MSR_*
The HV_REGISTER_ are used as arguments to hv_set/get_register(), which
delegate to arch-specific mechanisms for getting/setting synthetic
Hyper-V MSRs.

On arm64, HV_REGISTER_ defines are synthetic VP registers accessed via
the get/set vp registers hypercalls. The naming matches the TLFS
document, although these register names are not specific to arm64.

However, on x86 the prefix HV_REGISTER_ indicates Hyper-V MSRs accessed
via rdmsrl()/wrmsrl(). This is not consistent with the TLFS doc, where
HV_REGISTER_ is *only* used for used for VP register names used by
the get/set register hypercalls.

To fix this inconsistency and prevent future confusion, change the
arch-generic aliases used by callers of hv_set/get_register() to have
the prefix HV_MSR_ instead of HV_REGISTER_.

Use the prefix HV_X64_MSR_ for the x86-only Hyper-V MSRs. On x86, the
generic HV_MSR_'s point to the corresponding HV_X64_MSR_.

Move the arm64 HV_REGISTER_* defines to the asm-generic hyperv-tlfs.h,
since these are not specific to arm64. On arm64, the generic HV_MSR_'s
point to the corresponding HV_REGISTER_.

While at it, rename hv_get/set_registers() and related functions to
hv_get/set_msr(), hv_get/set_nested_msr(), etc. These are only used for
Hyper-V MSRs and this naming makes that clear.
