Subject: Drivers: hv: vmbus: Cleanup vmbus_close_internal()
Eliminate calls to BUG_ON() in vmbus_close_internal().
We have chosen to potentially leak memory, than crash the guest
in case of failures.
In this version of the patch I have addressed comments from
Dan Carpenter (dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx).
