Use syscore_ops.shutdown to disable hardware virtualization during a reboot instead of using the dedicated reboot_notifier so that KVM disables virtualization _after_ system_state has been updated. This will allow fixing a race in KVM's handling of a forced reboot where KVM can end up enabling hardware virtualization between kernel_restart_prepare() and machine_restart(). Rename KVM's hook to match the syscore op to avoid any possible confusion from wiring up a "reboot" helper to a "shutdown" hook (neither "shutdown nor "reboot" is completely accurate as the hook handles both). Opportunistically rewrite kvm_shutdown()'s comment to make it less VMX specific, and to explain why kvm_rebooting exists.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
