We send packets using a copy-free mechanism (this is the Guest to Host transport
via VMBUS). While this is obviously optimal for large packets,
it may not be optimal for small packets. Hyper-V host supports
a second mechanism for sending packets that is "copy based". We implement that
mechanism in this patch.

In this version of the patch I have addressed a comment from David Miller.

With this patch (and all of the other offload and VRSS patches), we are now able
to almost saturate a 10G interface between Linux VMs on Hyper-V
on different hosts - close to  9 Gbps as measured via iperf.

Removed recv_pkt_list and lock, and updated related code, so that
the locking overhead is reduced especially when multiple channels
are in use.

The recv_pkt_list isn't actually necessary because the packets are
processed sequentially in each channel. It has been replaced by a
local variable, and the related lock for this list is also removed.
The is_data_pkt field is not used in receive path, so its assignment
is cleaned up.

Fixed: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size

The Hyper-V hosts always use 64 bit request id. The guests can have 32 or 64
bit pointers which equal to the ulong type size. So we cast it to ulong type.
And, assigning 32bit integer to 64 bit variable works fine.

The VMBus returns the same id in the completion packet. But the value has no
effect on the host side.

In the existing code, we only stop queue when the ringbuffer is full,
so the current packet has to be dropped or retried from upper layer.

This patch stops the tx queue when available ringbuffer is below
the low watermark. So the ringbuffer still has small amount of space
available for the current packet. This will reduce the overhead of
retries on sending.

The ring buffer is only used to pass meta data for outbound packets. The
actual payload is accessed by DMA from the host. So the stop/wake queue
mechanism based on counting and comparing number of pages sent v.s. number
of pages in the ring buffer is wrong. Also, there is a race condition in
the stop/wake queue calls, which can stop xmit queue forever.

The new stop/wake queue mechanism is based on the actual bytes used by
outbound packets in the ring buffer. The check for number of outstanding
sends after stop queue prevents the race condition that can cause wake
queue happening earlier than stop queue.
