Subject: [PATCH 4.9 32/48] vmbus: fix missing signaling in hv_signal_on_read()

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dexuan Cui <decui@...rosoft.com>

[Fixes upstream in a much larger set of patches that are not worth backporting
to 4.9 - gregkh]

When the space available before start of reading (cached_write_sz)
is the same as the host required space (pending_sz), we need to
still signal host.

Hi Greg, as we discussed, I'm resending this patch, and please only apply
it to linux-4.9.y (i.e. v4.9.57 as of today).
