Subject: [PATCH 3.13 037/105] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Cleanup vmbus_close_internal()

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

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

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

commit 98d731bb064a9d1817a6ca9bf8b97051334a7cfe upstream.

Eliminate calls to BUG_ON() in vmbus_close_internal().
We have chosen to potentially leak memory, than crash the guest
in case of failures.

In this version of the patch I have addressed comments from
Dan Carpenter (dan.carpenter@...cle.com).
