hv_netvsc: Use vmbus_sendpacket_mpb_desc() to send VMBus messages
commit 4f98616b upstream. netvsc currently uses vmbus_sendpacket_pagebuffer() to send VMBus messages. This function creates a series of GPA ranges, each of which contains a single PFN. However, if the rndis header in the VMBus message crosses a page boundary, the netvsc protocol with the host requires that both PFNs for the rndis header must be in a single "GPA range" data structure, which isn't possible with vmbus_sendpacket_pagebuffer(). As the first step in fixing this, add a new function netvsc_build_mpb_array() to build a VMBus message with multiple GPA ranges, each of which may contain multiple PFNs. Use vmbus_sendpacket_mpb_desc() to send this VMBus message to the host. There's no functional change since higher levels of netvsc don't maintain or propagate knowledge of contiguous PFNs. Based on its input, netvsc_build_mpb_array() still produces a separate GPA range for each PFN and the behavior is the same as with vmbus_sendpacket_pagebuffer(). But the groundwork is laid for a subsequent patch to provide the necessary grouping.
