[PATCH] Staging: hv: Fix vmbus event handler bug

[Haiyang Zhang]

From: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Fix vmbus event handler bug.
The flag ENABLE_POLLING is always enabled in original Makefile, 
but accidently removed during porting to mainline kernel. The patch 
fixes this bug which can cause stalled network communication. 
Credit needs to go to Eric Sesterhenn <eric.sesterhenn@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
For pointing out a typo in the original code as well.

This patch needs to be applied to the 2.6.32 mainline.
