[PATCH v3 3/6] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Copy the hv_message in vmbus_on_msg_dpc()

[Andrea Parri (Microsoft)]

Since the message is in memory shared with the host, an erroneous or a
malicious Hyper-V could 'corrupt' the message while vmbus_on_msg_dpc()
or individual message handlers are executing.  To prevent it, copy the
message into private memory.
