vmbus: remove hv_event_tasklet_disable/enable

With the recent introduction of per-channel tasklet, we need to update
the way we handle the 3 concurrency issues:

1. hv_process_channel_removal -> percpu_channel_deq vs.
   vmbus_chan_sched -> list_for_each_entry(..., percpu_list);

2. vmbus_process_offer -> percpu_channel_enq/deq vs. vmbus_chan_sched.

3. vmbus_close_internal vs. the per-channel tasklet vmbus_on_event;

The first 2 issues can be handled by Stephen's recent patch
"vmbus: use rcu for per-cpu channel list", and the third issue
can be handled by calling tasklet_disable in vmbus_close_internal here.

We don't need the original hv_event_tasklet_disable/enable since we
now use per-channel tasklet instead of the previous per-CPU tasklet,
and actually we must remove them due to the side effect now:
vmbus_process_offer -> hv_event_tasklet_enable -> tasklet_schedule will
start the per-channel callback prematurely, cauing NULL dereferencing
(the channel may haven't been properly configured to run the callback yet).

Fixes: 631e63a9f346 ("vmbus: change to per channel tasklet")
