Subject: [PATCH] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Close timing hole that can corrupt
per-cpu page
References: bnc#1060662
Patch-mainline: v4.12.3
Git-commit: 13b9abfc92be7c4454bff912021b9f835dea6e15
commit 13b9abfc92be7c4454bff912021b9f835dea6e15 upstream.
Extend the disabling of preemption to include the hypercall so that
another thread can't get the CPU and corrupt the per-cpu page used
for hypercall arguments.
