4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dexuan Cui <decui@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[Fixes upstream in a much larger set of patches that are not worth backporting
to 4.9 - gregkh]
When the space available before start of reading (cached_write_sz)
is the same as the host required space (pending_sz), we need to
still signal host.
Fixes: 433e19cf33d3 ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: finally fix hv_need_to_signal_on_read()")

Hi Greg, as we discussed, I'm resending this patch, and please only apply
