When storvsc is sending I/O to Hyper-v, it may allocate a bigger buffer descriptor for large data payload that can't fit into a pre-allocated buffer descriptor. This bigger buffer is freed on return path. If I/O request to Hyper-v fails due to ring buffer busy, the storvsc allocated buffer descriptor should also be freed.
