commit 8b79feffeca28c5459458fe78676b081e87c93a4 upstream.

Various PV features (Async PF, PV EOI, steal time) work through memory
shared with hypervisor and when we restore from hibernation we must
properly teardown all these features to make sure hypervisor doesn't
write to stale locations after we jump to the previously hibernated kernel
(which can try to place anything there). For secondary CPUs the job is
already done by kvm_cpu_down_prepare(), register syscore ops to do
the same for boot CPU.

Krzysztof:
This fixes memory corruption visible after second resume from
hibernation:

Hi, you should include a cover letter detailing the differences between the original patches and the backport.

(I'll review it anyway, but it would have helped).

Backport to v5.4 seems reasonable. Might have sense to earlier versions,
but this was not tested/investigated.
