Subject: [PATCH 069/145] Drivers: hv: Execute shutdown in a thread context

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

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

From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" <kys@...rosoft.com>

commit 3dd6cb497198a0533a2530b6a345c60c9a29b9bc upstream.

Execute the shutdown code in a thread context. With recent changes made to the
shutdown code, shutdown code cannot be invoked from an interrupt context.
