vmbus_teardown_gpadl() can result in infinite wait when it is called
on 5 second timeout in vmbus_open(). The issue is caused by the fact
that gpadl teardown operation won't ever succeed for an opened channel
and the timeout isn't always enough. As a guest, we can always trust
the host to respond to our request (and there is nothing we can do if
it doesn't).

- The patch is the successor of previously sent '[PATCH] Drivers: hv: fix
 infinite wait when channel open timeouts, thus v2.
- Remove the timeout completely [K. Y. Srinivasan]
