Drivers: hv: vmbus: Cleanup hv_post_message()
Minimize failures in this function by pre-allocating the buffer
for posting messages. The hypercall for posting the message can fail
for a number of reasons:
1. Transient resource related issues
2. Buffer alignment
3. Buffer cannot span a page boundry
We address issues 2 and 3 by preallocating a per-cpu page for the buffer.
Transient resource related failures are handled by retrying by the callers
of this function.
This patch is based on the investigation
done by Dexuan Cui <decui@microsoft.com>.
I would like to thank Sitsofe Wheeler <sitsofe@yahoo.com>
for reporting the issue and helping in debuggging.
