Subject: netvsc: Deal with rescinded channels correctly

From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" <kys@microsoft.com>


[ Upstream commit 73e64fa4f417b22d8d5521999a631ced8e2d442e ]

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rescinded.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even when the channel is rescinded.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.
