3.2.65-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" <kys@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 98d731bb064a9d1817a6ca9bf8b97051334a7cfe upstream.
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).

[bwh: Backported to 3.2: function is extern; don't change the return
type to int as callers will ignore the value]
