Drivers: hv: vmbus: Cleanup vmbus_post_msg()
commit fdeebcc62279119dbeafbc1a2e39e773839025fd upstream. Posting messages to the host can fail because of transient resource related failures. Correctly deal with these failures and increase the number of attempts to post the message before giving up. In this version of the patch, I have normalized the error code to Linux error code.
