[PATCH] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Remove the per-CPU post_msg_page

[PATCH] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Remove the per-CPU post_msg_page

[Dexuan Cui]

The post_msg_page was introduced in 2014 in
commit b29ef3546aec ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Cleanup hv_post_message()")

Commit 68bb7bfb7985 ("X86/Hyper-V: Enable IPI enlightenments") introduced
the hyperv_pcpu_input_arg in 2018, which can be used in hv_post_message().

Remove post_msg_page to simplify the code a little bit.

This looks good.  Glad to have this simplification done!

FWIW, this patch will cause conflicts with your TDX patch series.  If this
patch goes first, then you'll have merge errors with the TDX patches.
If the TDX series goes first, then this patch will have merge errors.  And
per my comments on Patch 5 of your TDX series, eliminating the
post_msg_page will simplify the error cleanup code in hv_synic_alloc().
It seems like making this patch part of the TDX series would be helpful
all around.

Applied to hyperv-next.

Seeing that there are pending comments in the TDX series, I've applied
this patch. TDX series can be rebased.

Thanks,
Wei.
