All tools/hv daemons do mandatory daemon() on startup. However, no pidfile
is created, this make it difficult for an init system to track such daemons.
Modern linux distros use systemd as their init system. It can handle the
daemonizing by itself, however, it requires a daemon to stay in foreground
for that. Some distros already carry distro-specific patch for hv tools
which switches off daemon().
Introduce -n/--no-daemon option for all 3 daemons in hv/tools. Parse options
with getopt() to make this part easily expandable.

Return the appropriate error code and handle the case when the target
file exists correctly. This fixes a bug.

Implement the file copy service for Linux guests on Hyper-V. This permits the
host to copy a file (over VMBUS) into the guest. This facility is part of
"guest integration services" supported on the Windows platform.
Here is a link that provides additional details on this functionality:

In V1 version of the patch I have addressed comments from
Olaf Hering <olaf@aepfle.de> and Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>
In V2 version of this patch I did some minor cleanup (making some globals
static). In V4 version of the patch I have addressed all of Olaf's
most recent set of comments/concerns.
In V5 version of the patch I had addressed Greg's most recent comments.
I would like to thank Greg for suggesting that I use misc device; it has
significantly simplified the code.
In V6 version of the patch I have cleaned up error message based on Olaf's
comments. I have also rebased the patch based on the current tip.
In this version of the patch, I have addressed the latest comments from Greg.
