Drivers: hv: vmbus: Resolve more races involving init_vp_index()

init_vp_index() uses the (per-node) hv_numa_map[] masks to record the CPUs allocated for channel interrupts at a given time, and distribute the performance-critical channels across the available CPUs: in part., the mask of "candidate" target CPUs in a given NUMA node, for a newly offered channel, is determined by XOR-ing the node's CPU mask and the node's hv_numa_map. This operation/mechanism assumes that no offline CPUs is set in the hv_numa_map mask, an assumption that does not hold since such mask is currently not updated when a channel is removed or assigned to a different CPU. To address the issues described above, this adds hooks in the channel removal path (hv_process_channel_removal()) and in target_cpu_store() in order to clear, resp. to update, the hv_numa_map[] masks as needed. This also adds a (missed) update of the masks in init_vp_index() (cf., e.g., the memory-allocation failure path in this function). Like in the case of init_vp_index(), such hooks require to determine if the given channel is performance critical. init_vp_index() does this by parsing the channel's offer, it can not rely on the device data structure (device_obj) to retrieve such information because the device data structure has not been allocated/linked with the channel by the time that init_vp_index() executes. A similar situation may hold in hv_is_alloced_cpu() (defined below); the adopted approach is to "cache" the device type of the channel, as computed by parsing the channel's offer, in the channel structure itself.
