> To eliminate the race, hv_pci_suspend() disables the channel callback
> tasklet, sets hbus->state to hv_pcibus_removing, and re-enables the tasklet.
> This way, when hv_pci_suspend() proceeds, it knows that no new work item
> can be scheduled, and then it flushes hbus->wq and safely closes the vmbus
