x86: Hyperv: Cleanup the irq mess



The vmbus/hyperv interrupt handling is another complete trainwreck and
probably the worst of all currently in tree.

If CONFIG_HYPERV=y then the interrupt delivery to the vmbus happens
via the direct HYPERVISOR_CALLBACK_VECTOR. So far so good, but:

  The driver requests first a normal device interrupt. The only reason
  to do so is to increment the interrupt stats of that device
  interrupt. For no reason it also installs a private flow handler.

  We have proper accounting mechanisms for direct vectors, but of
  course it's too much effort to add that 5 lines of code.

  Aside of that the alloc_intr_gate() is not protected against
  reallocation which makes module reload impossible.

Solution to the problem is simple to rip out the whole mess and
implement it correctly.

First of all move all that code to arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mshyperv.c and
merily install the HYPERVISOR_CALLBACK_VECTOR with proper reallocation
protection and use the proper direct vector accounting mechanism.
