I think I inspected all vmbus_open() callers and they all just check ret
!= 0 but I agree we'd better return some -EXXXX code here. I'm not
exactly sure if open_result.status != 0 usually means a permanent or a
temporary failure but if it's temporary -EAGAIN here seems reasonable.

I'll send v2, thanks for the review!
