vmbus: use rcu for per-cpu channel list
The per-cpu channel list is now referred to in the interrupt routine. This is mostly safe since the host will not normally generate an interrupt when channel is being deleted but if it did then there would be a use after free problem. To solve, this use RCU protection on ther per-cpu list. Fixes: 631e63a9f346 ("vmbus: change to per channel tasklet") Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: K. Y.
