[PATCH] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Remove the per-CPU post_msg_page

[Dexuan Cui]

The post_msg_page was introduced in 2014 in
commit b29ef3546aec ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Cleanup hv_post_message()")

Commit 68bb7bfb7985 ("X86/Hyper-V: Enable IPI enlightenments") introduced
the hyperv_pcpu_input_arg in 2018, which can be used in hv_post_message().

Remove post_msg_page to simplify the code a little bit.
