Matching network device based on MAC address is problematic
since a non VF network device can be creted with a duplicate MAC
address causing confusion and problems.  The VMBus API does provide
a serial number that is a better matching method.

If out ring is full temporarily and receive completion cannot go out,
we may still need to reschedule napi if certain conditions are met.
Otherwise the napi poll might be stopped forever, and cause network
disconnect.

<title>hv_netvsc: split sub-channel setup into async and sync</title>

When doing device hotplug the sub channel must be async to avoid
deadlock issues because device is discovered in softirq context.

When doing changes to MTU and number of channels, the setup
must be synchronous to avoid races such as when MTU and device
settings are done in a single ip command.

The calls up from the napi poll reading the receive ring had many
places where an argument was being recreated. I.e the caller already
had the value and wasn't passing it, then the callee would use
known relationship to determine the same value. Simpler and faster
to just pass arguments needed.

Also, add const in a couple places where message is being only read.

Use that function and remove netvsc's private version.

<title>hv_netvsc: Ensure correct teardown message sequence order</title>

<id>a56d99d714665591fed8527b90eef21530ea61e0</id>
<content type='text'>
Prior to commit 0cf737808ae7 ("hv_netvsc: netvsc_teardown_gpadl() split")
the call sequence in netvsc_device_remove() was as follows (as
implemented in netvsc_destroy_buf()):
1- Send NVSP_MSG1_TYPE_REVOKE_RECV_BUF message
2- Teardown receive buffer GPADL
3- Send NVSP_MSG1_TYPE_REVOKE_SEND_BUF message
4- Teardown send buffer GPADL
5- Close vmbus

This didn't work for WS2016 hosts. Commit 0cf737808ae7
("hv_netvsc: netvsc_teardown_gpadl() split") rearranged the
teardown sequence as follows:
1- Send NVSP_MSG1_TYPE_REVOKE_RECV_BUF message
2- Send NVSP_MSG1_TYPE_REVOKE_SEND_BUF message
3- Close vmbus
4- Teardown receive buffer GPADL
5- Teardown send buffer GPADL

That worked well for WS2016 hosts, but it prevented guests on older hosts from
shutting down after changing network settings. Commit 0ef58b0a05c1
("hv_netvsc: change GPAD teardown order on older versions") ensured the
following message sequence for older hosts
1- Send NVSP_MSG1_TYPE_REVOKE_RECV_BUF message
2- Send NVSP_MSG1_TYPE_REVOKE_SEND_BUF message
3- Teardown receive buffer GPADL
4- Teardown send buffer GPADL
5- Close vmbus

However, with this sequence calling `ip link set eth0 mtu 1000` hangs and the
process becomes uninterruptible. On futher analysis it turns out that on tearing
down the receive buffer GPADL the kernel is waiting indefinitely
in vmbus_teardown_gpadl() for a completion to be signaled.

Here is a snippet of where this occurs:
int vmbus_teardown_gpadl(struct vmbus_channel *channel, u32 gpadl_handle)
{
        struct vmbus_channel_gpadl_teardown *msg;
        struct vmbus_channel_msginfo *info;
        unsigned long flags;
        int ret;

        info = kmalloc(sizeof(*info) +
                       sizeof(struct vmbus_channel_gpadl_teardown), GFP_KERNEL);
        if (!info)
                return -ENOMEM;

        init_completion(&amp;info-&gt;waitevent);
        info-&gt;waiting_channel = channel;
[....]
        ret = vmbus_post_msg(msg, sizeof(struct vmbus_channel_gpadl_teardown),
                             true);

        if (ret)
                goto post_msg_err;

        wait_for_completion(&amp;info-&gt;waitevent);
[....]
}

The completion is signaled from vmbus_ongpadl_torndown(), which gets called when
the corresponding message is received from the host, which apparently never happens
in that case.
This patch works around the issue by restoring the first mentioned message sequence
for older hosts
