Subject: Drivers: hv: vmbus: On the read path cleanup the logic to interrupt the host

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

commit 3372592a140db69fd63837e81f048ab4abf8111e upstream.

Signal the host when we determine the host is to be signaled -
on th read path. The currrent code determines the need to signal in the
ringbuffer code and actually issues the signal elsewhere. This can result
in the host viewing this interrupt as spurious since the host may also
poll the channel. Make the necessary adjustments.
