vmbus_get_outgoing_channel() implements the following algorithm for selecting
an outgoing channel (despite the comment before the function saying it
distributes the load equally):
1) If we have no subchannels return the primary channel;
2) If primary->next_oc is grater than primary->num_sc reset the primary->next_oc
to 0 and return the primary channel;
3) Aim for the primary->next_oc subchannel, increment primary->next_oc;
4) Loop through all opened subchannels. If we see a channel which has
target_cpu == current_cpu return it. If we reached the primary->next_oc'th
open subchannel return it;
5) Return the primary channel.
The implementation also skips the subchannel No. 0 unless it matches the current
cpu as we assign i to 1 in the initialization.
This is not a fair round robin as subchannels in the beginning of the list are
more likely to be returned and checking for current cpu aslo creates additional
complexity. Simplify the vmbus_get_outgoing_channel() function, make it do what
the comment before it says.
