Drivers: hv: vmbus: Use a spin lock for synchronizing channel schedul…
…ing vs. channel removal Since vmbus_chan_sched() dereferences the ring buffer pointer, we have to make sure that the ring buffer data structures don't get freed while such dereferencing is happening. Current code does this by sending an IPI to the CPU that is allowed to access that ring buffer from interrupt level, cf., vmbus_reset_channel_cb(). But with the new functionality to allow changing the CPU that a channel will interrupt, we can't be sure what CPU will be running the vmbus_chan_sched() function for a particular channel, so the current IPI mechanism is infeasible. Instead synchronize vmbus_chan_sched() and vmbus_reset_channel_cb() by using the (newly introduced) per-channel spin lock "sched_lock". Move the test for onchannel_callback being NULL before the "switch" control statement in vmbus_chan_sched(), in order to not access the ring buffer if the vmbus_reset_channel_cb() has been completed on the channel.
