Subject: [PATCH V2 1/1] vmbus: hvsock: add proper sync for vmbus_hvsock_device_unregister()

From: Dexuan Cui <decui@...rosoft.com>

Without the patch, vmbus_hvsock_device_unregister() can destroy the device
prematurely when close() is called, and can cause NULl dereferencing or
potential data loss (the last portion of the data stream may be dropped
prematurely).
