Your static analysis tool is faulty and apparently so is Smatch.

$ smdb function_ptrs hv_pci_onchannelcallback

Says it can't find a caller. When I look for function pointers I get:

$ smdb function_ptr hv_pci_onchannelcallback
hv_pci_onchannelcallback = 'hv_pci_onchannelcallback' , 'vmbus_open param 5' , '(struct vmbus_channel)->onchannel_callback' , '__read_once_size param 0'

Anyway the call tree is:

vmbus_chan_sched() <-- takes rcu_read_lock();
-> vmbus_channel_isr()
-> channel->onchannel_callback() -> which is hv_pci_onchannelcallback()
