[PATCH] vmbus: hvsock: add proper sync for vmbus_hvsock_device_unregister()
From: Dexuan Cui
Date: Tue Oct 10 2017 - 00:49:49 EST
Without the patch, vmbus_hvsock_device_unregister() can destroy the device
prematurely when close() is called, and can cause NULl dereferencing or
potential data loss (the last portion of the data stream may be dropped
prematurely).
