[PATCH v3 3/3] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix race condition with new ring_buffer_info mutex

Fix a race condition that can result in a ring buffer pointer being set to null while a "_show" function is reading the ring buffer's data. This problem was discussed here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/18/779 To fix the race condition, add a new mutex lock to the "hv_ring_buffer_info" struct.

[PATCH v3 1/3] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Refactor chan->state if statement
