Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/4] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Remove special code for unsolicited messages

vmbus_requestor has included code for handling unsolicited messages
since its introduction with commit e8b7db38449ac ("Drivers: hv: vmbus:
Add vmbus_requestor data structure for VMBus hardening"); such code was
motivated by the early use of vmbus_requestor from storvsc.  Since
storvsc moved to a tag-based mechanism to generate/retrieve request IDs
with commit bf5fd8cae3c8f ("scsi: storvsc: Use blk_mq_unique_tag() to
generate requestIDs"), the special handling of unsolicited messages in
vmbus_requestor is not useful and can be removed.
