Code looks fine to me, but the commit message can be made clearer.

"""
The hypervisor expects the logical processor index to be the same as
CPU's id during logical processor creation. Using cpu_physical_id
confuses Microsoft Hypervisor's scheduler. That causes the root
partition not boot when core scheduler is used.

This patch removes the call to cpu_physical_id and uses the CPU index
directly for bringing up logical processor. This scheme works for both
classic scheduler and core scheduler.

Fixes: 333abaf5abb3 (x86/hyperv: implement and use hv_smp_prepare_cpus)

No action is required from you. If you are fine with this commit message
I can incorporate it and update the subject line when committing this
patch.
