drivers: hv: log when enabling crash_kexec_post_notifiers

Recently I went down a rabbit hole looking at a race condition in
panic() on a Hyper-V guest. I assumed, since it was missing from the
command line, that crash_kexec_post_notifiers was disabled. Only after
a rather long reproduction and analysis process did I learn that Hyper-V
actually enables this setting unconditionally.

Users and debuggers alike would like to know when these things happen. I
think it would be good to print a message to the kernel log when this
happens, so that a grep for "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" shows relevant
results.
