There is one more function in the code which calls
hv_kvp_onchannelcallback():

static void kvp_host_handshake_func(struct work_struct *dummy)
{
	hv_poll_channel(kvp_transaction.recv_channel, hv_kvp_onchannelcallback);
}

we can't replace hv_kvp_onchannelcallback with kvp_poll_wrapper here as
we don't want to reset kvp_transaction.state but it seems this should
also get updated, e.g. hv_poll_channel() here can be replaced with the 
direct 

 tasklet_schedule(&((struct vmbus_channel*)channel)->callback_event);

call. This will ensure hv_kvp_onchannelcallback() calls are always
serialized.
