A shutdown callback in a loadable module may need to distinguish a kexec reboot from a normal restart, halt, or poweroff. The Hyper-V VMBus driver needs this distinction when moving its kexec cleanup into a common syscore shutdown callback.
Add kexec_is_in_progress() and export it to GPL modules so the callback can remain guarded when VMBus is built as a module. Provide a false inline implementation when CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE is disabled. The helper reports only the normal kexec reboot path. Crash kexec and preserve-context kexec do not set this state.
