[RFC 01/12] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Drop unsupported VMBus devices earlier

Because Hyper-V doesn't know ahead-of-time what operating system will be
running in a guest VM, it may offer to Linux guests VMBus devices that are
intended for use only in Windows guests. Currently in Linux, VMBus
channels are created for these devices, and they are processed by
vmbus_device_register(). While nothing further happens because no matching
driver is found, the channel continues to exist.

To avoid having the spurious channel, drop such devices immediately in
vmbus_onoffer(), based on identifying the device in the
vmbus_unsupported_devs table. If Hyper-V should issue a rescind request
for the device, no matching channel will be found and the rescind will
also be ignored.

Since unsupported devices are dropped early, the check for unsupported
devices in hv_get_dev_type() is redundant. Remove it.
