Subject: [PATCH 4.13 11/11] vmbus: more host signalling avoidance

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

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

From: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@...workplumber.org>

commit 03bad714a1619c0074eb44d6f217c505fe27030f upstream.

Don't signal host if it has disabled interrupts for that
ring buffer. Check the feature bit to see if host supports
pending send size flag.
