From: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@...rosoft.com>
Subject: [PATCH 1/2] staging: hv: Fix race condition in hv_utils module initialization.
There is a possible race condition when hv_utils starts to load immediately
after hv_vmbus is loading - null pointer error could happen.
This patch added an atomic counter to ensure the hv_utils module initialization
happens after all vmbus IC channels are initialized.
