Subject: [PATCH 4.9 054/177] netvsc: Deal with rescinded channels correctly

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

[ Upstream commit 73e64fa4f417b22d8d5521999a631ced8e2d442e ]

We will not be able to send packets over a channel that has been
rescinded. Make necessary adjustments so we can properly cleanup
even when the channel is rescinded. This issue can be trigerred
in the NIC hot-remove path.
