<title>Drivers: hv: util: move waiting for release to hv_utils_transport itself</title>

Waiting for release_event in all three drivers introduced issues on release
as on_reset() hook is not always called. E.g. if the device was never
opened we will never get the completion.

Move the waiting code to hvutil_transport_destroy() and make sure it is
only called when the device is open. hvt-&gt;lock serialization should
guarantee the absence of races.

<title>Drivers: hv: vmbus: Use all supported IC versions to negotiate</title>

Previously, we were assuming that each IC protocol version was tied to a
specific host version. For example, some Windows 10 preview hosts only
support v3 TimeSync even though driver assumes v4 is supported by all
Windows 10 hosts.

The guest will stop trying to negotiate even though older supported
versions may still be offered by the host.

Make IC version negotiation more robust by going through all versions
that are supported by the guest.

VSS may use a char device to support the communication between
the user level daemon and the driver. When the VSS channel is rescinded
we need to make sure that the char device is fully cleaned up before
we can process a new VSS offer from the host. Implement this logic.

Increase the timeout of backup operations. When system is under I/O load,
it needs more time to freeze. These timeout values should also match the

Hyper-V host will send a VSS_OP_HOT_BACKUP request to check if guest is
ready for a live backup/snapshot. The driver should respond to the check
only if the daemon is running and listening to requests. This allows the
host to fallback to standard snapshots in case the VSS daemon is not
running.

Multiple VSS_OP_HOT_BACKUP requests may arrive in quick succession, even
though the host only signals once. The driver wass handling the first
request while ignoring the others in the ring buffer. We should poll the
VSS channel after handling a request to continue processing other requests.
