fb_deferred_io_work() can access the vmbus ringbuffer by calling
fbdefio->deferred_io() -> synthvid_deferred_io() -> synthvid_update().

Because the vmbus ringbuffer is inaccessible between hvfb_suspend()
and hvfb_resume(), we must cancel info->deferred_work before calling
vmbus_close() and then reschedule it after we reopen the channel
in hvfb_resume().

This is a RESEND of https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/11/20/73 .

The only change is the addition of Wei's Review-ed-by.

Please review.

If it looks good, Sasha Levin, can you please pick it up via the
hyperv/linux.git tree, as you did last time for this driver?

Like with the input driver, if the relevant maintainers here are okay
with this type of patches going through the hyperv tree I'll be happy to
do it, otherwise I need an explicit ack from them on this patch.
