    hv: change clockevents unbind tactics · 6ffc4b85

    To get prepared to CPU offlining support we need co change the way how we
    unbind clockevent devices. As one CPU may go online/offline multiple times
    we need to bind it in hv_synic_init() and unbind it in hv_synic_cleanup().
    There is an additional corner case: when we unload the module completely we
    need to switch to some other clockevent mechanism before stopping VMBus or
    we will hang. We can't call hv_synic_cleanup() before unloading VMBus as
    we won't be able to send UNLOAD request and get a response so
    hv_synic_clockevents_cleanup() has to live. Luckily, we can always call
    clockevents_unbind_device(), even if it wasn't bound before and there is
    no issue if we call it twice.
