Subject: [PATCH v2] HV: properly delay KVP packets when negotiation is in
 progress

The host may send multiple negotiation packets (due to timeout) before 
the KVP user-mode daemon is connected. We need to defer processing  
those packets until the daemon is negotiated and connected. It's okay
for guest to respond to all negotiation packets.

In addition, the host may send multiple staged KVP requests as soon as
negotiation is done. We need to properly process those packets using 
one tasklet for exclusive access to ring buffer.

This patch is based on the work of Nick Meier 
<Nick.Meier@...rosoft.com>

The patch v2 has incorporated suggestion from Vitaly Kuznetsov 
<vkuznets@...hat.com>.
