Unfortunately, adding the #include doesn't solve the problem.  The error occurs when
CONFIG_HYPERV=m, because panic_on_oops is not exported.  I haven't thought it
through, but hopefully there's a solution where panic_on_oops can be tested in
hyperv_report_panic() or some other Hyper-V specific function that's never in a
module, so that we don't need to export panic_on_oops.
