[PATCH 10/41] x86/hyperv: detect if Linux is the root partition

From: Wei Liu <wei.liu at kernel.org>

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1949770

For now we can use the privilege flag to check. Stash the value to be
used later.

Put in a bunch of defines for future use when we want to have more
fine-grained detection.
