If fail to register kmsg dump on Hyper-V platform, hv_panic_page
will not be used anywhere. So free and reset it.

While this modification looks correct to me, there is a call to free
hv_panic_page in the err_alloc path. That makes the error handling a bit
confusing here.

I think you can just remove that function call in err_alloc path.

OK. Will update in the next version.


Wei.
