In the case of direct_mode_enabled == true: When hv_vmbus unloads,
vmbus_exit() -> hv_stimer_global_cleanup() -> hv_stimer_free() ->
cpuhp_remove_state() disables the direct mode timers.
This does not look symmetric since hv_stimer_alloc() is called before
hv_vmbus loads, but I suppose this is not a real issue because hv_vmbus
should never unload in practice. :-)
