Drivers: hv: Optimize signaling in the read path
Now that we have the infratructure for correctly determining when we should signal the host; optimize the signaling on the read side - signaling the guest from the host. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan <kys@microsoft.com> Reviewed-by: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
