Drivers: hv: vmbus: Support kexec on ws2012 r2 and above

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1558720

WS2012 R2 and above hosts can support kexec in that thay can support
reconnecting to the host (as would be needed in the kexec path)
on any CPU. Enable this. Pre ws2012 r2 hosts don't have this ability
and consequently cannot support kexec.
