Drivers: hv: vmbus: Base host signaling strictly on the ring state
One of the factors that can result in the host concluding that a given guest in mounting a DOS attack is if the guest generates interrupts to the host when the host is not expecting it. If these "spurious" interrupts reach a certain rate, the host can throttle the guest to minimize the impact. The host computation of the "expected number of interrupts" is strictly based on the ring transitions. Until the host logic is fixed, base the guest logic to interrupt solely on the ring state.
