Dexuan Cui dad72a1d28 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: 631e63a9f3 ("vmbus: change to per channel tasklet")

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
