Fix a couple of bugs. In this version I have addressed
review comments from Vitaly.

[PATCH V2 1/2] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix a Host signaling bug

[K. Y. Srinivasan]

Currently we have two policies for deciding when to signal the host:
One based on the ring buffer state and the other based on what the
VMBUS client driver wants to do. Consider the case when the client
wants to explicitly control when to signal the host. In this case,
if the client were to defer signaling, we will not be able to signal
the host subsequently when the client does want to signal since the
ring buffer state will prevent the signaling. Implement logic to
have only one signaling policy in force for a given channel.

[PATCH V2 2/2] drivers/hv: correct tsc page sequence invalid value

[K. Y. Srinivasan]

From: Andrey Smetanin <asmetanin@virtuozzo.com>

Hypervisor Top Level Functional Specification v3/4 says
that TSC page sequence value = -1(0xFFFFFFFF) is used to
indicate that TSC page no longer reliable source of reference
timer. Unfortunately, we found that Windows Hyper-V guest
side implementation uses sequence value = 0 to indicate
that Tsc page no longer valid. This is clearly visible
inside Windows 2012R2 ntoskrnl.exe HvlGetReferenceTime()
function dissassembly:

HvlGetReferenceTime proc near
                 xchg    ax, ax
loc_1401C3132:
                 mov     rax, cs:HvlpReferenceTscPage
                 mov     r9d, [rax]
                 test    r9d, r9d
                 jz      short loc_1401C3176
                 rdtsc
                 mov     rcx, cs:HvlpReferenceTscPage
                 shl     rdx, 20h
                 or      rdx, rax
                 mov     rax, [rcx+8]
                 mov     rcx, cs:HvlpReferenceTscPage
                 mov     r8, [rcx+10h]
                 mul     rdx
                 mov     rax, cs:HvlpReferenceTscPage
                 add     rdx, r8
                 mov     ecx, [rax]
                 cmp     ecx, r9d
                 jnz     short loc_1401C3132
                 jmp     short loc_1401C3184
loc_1401C3176:
                 mov     ecx, 40000020h
                 rdmsr

This patch aligns Tsc page invalid sequence value with
Windows Hyper-V guest implementation which is more
compatible with both Hyper-V hypervisor and KVM hypervisor.
