Subject: [PATCH 1/1] netvsc: Deal with rescinded channels correctly

From: K. Y. Srinivasan <kys@...rosoft.com>

We will not be able to send packets over a channel that has been
rescinded. Make necessary adjustments so we can properly cleanup
even when the channel is rescinded. This issue can be trigerred
in the NIC hot-remove path.
