Subject: Drivers: hv: vmbus: finally fix hv_need_to_signal_on_read()

From: Dexuan Cui <decui@microsoft.com>

commit 433e19cf33d34bb6751c874a9c00980552fe508c upstream.

Commit a389fcfd2cb5 ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix signaling logic in
hv_need_to_signal_on_read()")
added the proper mb(), but removed the test "prev_write_sz < pending_sz"
when making the signal decision.

As a result, the guest can signal the host unnecessarily,
and then the host can throttle the guest because the host
thinks the guest is buggy or malicious; finally the user
running stress test can perceive intermittent freeze of
the guest.

This patch brings back the test, and properly handles the
in-place consumption APIs used by NetVSC (see get_next_pkt_raw(),
put_pkt_raw() and commit_rd_index()).

Fixes: a389fcfd2cb5 ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix signaling logic in
hv_need_to_signal_on_read()")
