From: Michael Kelley <mhkli...@outlook.com>
When a CPU goes offline, hv_common_cpu_die() frees the
hv_synic_eventring_tail memory for the CPU. But in a normal VM (i.e., not
running in the root partition) the per-CPU memory has not been allocated,
resulting in a bad memory reference and oops when computing the argument
to kfree().
Fix this by freeing the memory only when running in the root partition.
Fixes: 04df7ac39943 ("Drivers: hv: Introduce per-cpu event ring tail")
