Fix bugs in signaling the Hyper-V host when freeing space in the host->guest ring buffer:
- The interrupt_mask must not be used to determine whether to signal on the host->guest ring buffer
- The ring buffer write_index must be read (via hv_get_bytes_to_write) *after* pending_send_sz is read in order to avoid a race condition
- Comparisons with pending_send_sz must treat the "equals" case as not-enough-space
- Don't signal if the pending_send_sz feature is not present. Older versions of Hyper-V that don't implement this feature will poll.

What ever happened to this patch? It doesn't seem to be in char-misc, upstream, or stable kernel tree yet.
