Drivers: hv: vmbus: Remove support for Hyper-V 2008 and Hyper-V 2008R2/Win7

The VMbus driver has special case code for running on the first released
versions of Hyper-V: 2008 and 2008 R2/Windows 7. These versions are now
out of support (except for extended security updates) and lack the
performance features needed for effective production usage of Linux
guests.

Simplify the code by removing the negotiation of the VMbus protocol
versions required for these releases of Hyper-V, and by removing the
special case code for handling these VMbus protocol versions.
