[PATCH 0/3] Drivers: hv: vmbus: fix crashes on hv_vmbus load/unload path

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov

It is possible (since 93e5bd06a953: "Drivers: hv: Make the vmbus driver
unloadable") to unload hv_vmbus driver if no other devices are connected.
1aec169673d7: "x86: Hyperv: Cleanup the irq mess" fixed doulble interrupt
gate setup. However, if we try to unload hv_vmbus and then load it back
crashes in different places of vmbus driver occur on both unload and second
load paths. Address those I saw in my testing.

Not everything is fixed though. MCE was hit once on Generation2 instance and
I neither understand what caused it nor do I know the way to reproduce it.
Anyway, here is the log:
