Signal the host when we determine the host is to be signaled -
on th read path. The currrent code determines the need to signal in the
ringbuffer code and actually issues the signal elsewhere. This can result
in the host viewing this interrupt as spurious since the host may also
poll the channel. Make the necessary adjustments.

I discovered that at least WS2016TP5 host has 60 seconds timeout for the
ICMSGTYPE_NEGOTIATE message so we need to lower guest's timeout a little
bit to make sure we always respond in time. Let's make it 55 seconds.

Make it possible to always use a single memcpy() or to provide a direct
link to a packet on the ring buffer by creating virtual mapping for two
copies of the ring buffer with vmap(). Utilize currently empty
hv_ringbuffer_cleanup() to do the unmap.

While on it, replace sizeof(struct hv_ring_buffer) check
in hv_ringbuffer_init() with BUILD_BUG_ON() as it is a compile time check.

When we crash from NMI context (e.g. after NMI injection from host when
'sysctl -w kernel.unknown_nmi_panic=1' is set) we hit

    kernel BUG at mm/vmalloc.c:1530!

as vfree() is denied. While the issue could be solved with in_nmi() check
instead I opted for skipping vfree on all sorts of crashes to reduce the
amount of work which can cause consequent crashes. We don't really need to
free anything on crash.

Kdump keeps biting. Turns out CHANNELMSG_UNLOAD_RESPONSE is always
delivered to the CPU which was used for initial contact or to CPU0
depending on host version. vmbus_wait_for_unload() doesn't account for
the fact that in case we're crashing on some other CPU we won't get the
CHANNELMSG_UNLOAD_RESPONSE message and our wait on the current CPU will
never end.

Do the following:
1) Check for completion_done() in the loop. In case interrupt handler is
   still alive we'll get the confirmation we need.

2) Read message pages for all CPUs message page as we're unsure where
   CHANNELMSG_UNLOAD_RESPONSE is going to be delivered to. We can race with
   still-alive interrupt handler doing the same, add cmpxchg() to
   vmbus_signal_eom() to not lose CHANNELMSG_UNLOAD_RESPONSE message.

3) Cleanup message pages on all CPUs. This is required (at least for the
   current CPU as we're clearing CPU0 messages now but we may want to bring
   up additional CPUs on crash) as new messages won't be delivered till we
   consume what's pending. On boot we'll place message pages somewhere else
   and we won't be able to read stale messages.

<title>Drivers: hv: kvp: fix IP Failover</title>

Hyper-V VMs can be replicated to another hosts and there is a feature to
set different IP for replicas, it is called 'Failover TCP/IP'. When
such guest starts Hyper-V host sends it KVP_OP_SET_IP_INFO message as soon
as we finish negotiation procedure. The problem is that it can happen (and
it actually happens) before userspace daemon connects and we reply with
HV_E_FAIL to the message. As there are no repetitions we fail to set the
requested IP.

Solve the issue by postponing our reply to the negotiation message till
userspace daemon is connected. We can't wait too long as there is a
host-side timeout (cca. 75 seconds) and if we fail to reply in this time
frame the whole KVP service will become inactive. The solution is not
ideal - if it takes userspace daemon more than 60 seconds to connect
IP Failover will still fail but I don't see a solution with our current
separation between kernel and userspace parts.

Other two modules (VSS and FCOPY) don't require such delay, leave them
untouched.
