When the handshake with daemon is complete, we should poll the channel since
during the handshake, we will not be processing any messages. This is a
potential bug if the host is waiting for a response from the guest.
I would like to thank Dexuan for pointing this out.

The Backup integration service on WS2012 has appearently trouble to
negotiate with a guest which does not support the provided util version.
Currently the VSS driver supports only version 5/0. A WS2012 offers only
version 1/x and 3/x, and vmbus_prep_negotiate_resp correctly returns an
empty icframe_vercnt/icmsg_vercnt. But the host ignores that and
continues to send ICMSGTYPE_NEGOTIATE messages. The result are weird
errors during boot and general misbehaviour.
Check the Windows version to work around the host bug, skip hv_vss_init
on WS2012 and older.

All channel interrupts are bound to specific VCPUs in the guest
at the point channel is created. While currently, we invoke the
polling function on the correct CPU (the CPU to which the channel
is bound to) in some cases we may run the polling function in
a non-interrupt context. This potentially can cause an issue as the
polling function can be interrupted by the channel callback function.
Fix the issue by running the polling function on the appropriate CPU
at interrupt level. Additional details of the issue being addressed by
this patch are given below:
Currently hv_fcopy_onchannelcallback is called from interrupts and also
via the ->write function of hv_utils. Since the used global variables to
maintain state are not thread safe the state can get out of sync.
This affects the variable state as well as the channel inbound buffer.
As suggested by KY adjust hv_poll_channel to always run the given
callback on the cpu which the channel is bound to. This avoids the need
for locking because all the util services are single threaded and only
one transaction is active at any given point in time.
Additionally, remove the context variable, they will always be the same as
recv_channel.

Switch to using the hvutil_device_state state machine from using kvp_transaction.active.
State transitions are:
-> HVUTIL_DEVICE_INIT when driver loads or on device release
-> HVUTIL_READY if the handshake was successful
-> HVUTIL_HOSTMSG_RECEIVED when there is a non-negotiation message from the host
-> HVUTIL_USERSPACE_REQ after we sent the message to the userspace daemon
-> HVUTIL_USERSPACE_RECV after/if the userspace daemon has replied
-> HVUTIL_READY after we respond to the host
-> HVUTIL_DEVICE_DYING on driver unload
In hv_vss_onchannelcallback() process ICMSGTYPE_NEGOTIATE messages even when
the userspace daemon is disconnected, otherwise we can make the host think
we don't support VSS and disable the service completely.
Unfortunately there is no good way we can figure out that the userspace daemon
has died (unless we start treating all timeouts as such), add a protection
against processing new VSS_OP_REGISTER messages while being in the middle of a
transaction (HVUTIL_USERSPACE_REQ or HVUTIL_USERSPACE_RECV state).

In theory, the host is not supposed to issue any requests before be reply to
the previous one. In KVP we, however, support the following scenarios:
1) A message was received before userspace daemon registered;
2) A message was received while the previous one is still being processed.
In VSS we support only the former. Add support for the later, use
hv_poll_channel() to do the job.

If we fail to send a message to userspace daemon with cn_netlink_send()
there is no need to wait for userspace to reply as it is not going to
happen. This happens when kvp or vss daemon is stopped after a successful
handshake. Report HV_E_FAIL immediately and cancel the timeout job so
host won't receive two failures.
Use pr_warn() for VSS and pr_debug() for KVP deliberately as VSS request
are rare and result in a failed backup. KVP requests are much more frequent
after a successful handshake so avoid flooding logs. It would be nice to
have an ability to de-negotiate with the host in case userspace daemon gets
disconnected so we won't receive new requests. But I'm not sure it is
possible.

In contrast with KVP there is no timeout when communicating with
userspace VSS daemon. In case it gets stuck performing freeze/thaw
operation no message will be sent to the host so it will take very
long (around 10 minutes) before backup fails. Introduce 10 second
timeout using schedule_delayed_work().

The current code picked the highest version advertised by the host. WS2012 R2
has implemented a protocol version for KVP that is not compatible with prior
protocol versions of KVP. Fix the bug in the current code by explicitly specifying
the protocol version that the guest can support.

This driver supports host initiated backup of the guest. On Windows guests,
the host can generate application consistent backups using the Windows VSS
framework. On Linux, we ensure that the backup will be file system consistent.
This driver allows the host to initiate a "Freeze" operation on all the mounted
file systems in the guest. Once the mounted file systems in the guest are frozen,
the host snapshots the guest's file systems. Once this is done, the guest's file
systems are "thawed".
This driver has a user-level component (daemon) that invokes the appropriate
operation on all the mounted file systems in response to the requests from
the host. The duration for which the guest is frozen is very short - a few seconds.
During this interval, the diff disk is comitted.
In this version of the patch I have addressed the feedback from Olaf Herring.
Also, some of the connector related issues have been fixed.
