hv_kmsg_dump() currently skips the panic notification entirely if it
doesn't get any message bytes to pass to Hyper-V due to an error from
kmsg_dump_get_buffer(). Skipping the notification is undesirable because
it leaves the Hyper-V host uncertain about the state of a panic'ed guest.

Fix this by always doing the panic notification, even if bytes_written
is zero. Also ensure that bytes_written is initialized, which fixes a
kernel test robot warning. The warning is actually bogus because
kmsg_dump_get_buffer() happens to set bytes_written even if it fails, and
in the kernel test robot's CONFIG_PRINTK not set case, hv_kmsg_dump() is
never called. But do the initialization for robustness and to quiet the
static checker.
