[RFC PATCH 05/11] hv_utils: Always execute the fcopy and vss callbacks in a tasklet

[Andrea Parri (Microsoft)]

The fcopy and vss callback functions could be running in a tasklet
at the same time they are called in hv_poll_channel().  Current code
serializes the invocations of these functions, and their accesses to
the channel ring buffer, by sending an IPI to the CPU that is allowed
to access the ring buffer, cf. hv_poll_channel().  This IPI mechanism
becomes infeasible if we allow changing the CPU that a channel will
interrupt.  Instead modify the callback wrappers to always execute
the fcopy and vss callbacks in a tasklet, thus mirroring the solution
for the kvp callback functions adopted since commit a3ade8cc474d8
("HV: properly delay KVP packets when negotiation is in progress").
This will ensure that the callback function can't run on two CPUs at
the same time.
