HV: properly delay KVP packets when negotiation is in progress
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1801900 commit a3ade8cc upstream. The host may send multiple negotiation packets (due to timeout) before the KVP user-mode daemon is connected. KVP user-mode daemon is connected. We need to defer processing those packets until the daemon is negotiated and connected. It's okay for guest to respond to all negotiation packets. In addition, the host may send multiple staged KVP requests as soon as negotiation is done. We need to properly process those packets using one tasklet for exclusive access to ring buffer. This patch is based on the work of Nick Meier <Nick.Meier@microsoft.com>. The above is the original changelog of a3ade8cc ("HV: properly delay KVP packets when negotiation is in progress" Here I re-worked the original patch because the mainline version can't work for the linux-4.4.y branch, on which channel->callback_event doesn't exist yet. In the mainline, channel->callback_event was added by: 631e63a9 ("vmbus: change to per channel tasklet"). Here we don't want to backport it to v4.4, as it requires extra supporting changes and fixes, which are unnecessary as to the KVP bug we're trying to resolve. NOTE: before this patch is used, we should cherry-pick the other related 3 patches from the mainline first: The background of this backport request is that: recently Wang Jian reported some KVP issues: https://github.com/LIS/lis-next/issues/593: e.g. the /var/lib/hyperv/.kvp_pool_* files can not be updated, and sometimes if the hv_kvp_daemon doesn't timely start, the host may not be able to query the VM's IP address via KVP.
