Dexuan Cui 4d3c5c6919 Drivers: hv: vmbus: Remove the useless API vmbus_get_outgoing_channel()
Commit d86adf482b ("scsi: storvsc: Enable multi-queue support") removed
the usage of the API in Jan 2017, and the API is not used since then.

netvsc and storvsc have their own algorithms to determine the outgoing
channel, so this API is useless.

And the API is potentially unsafe, because it reads primary->num_sc without
any lock held. This can be risky considering the RESCIND-OFFER message.

Let's remove the API.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
