[PATCH 06/16] staging: hv: Fix race condition on vmbus channel initialization

From: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz at microsoft.com>

There is a possible race condition when hv_utils starts to load immediately
after hv_vmbus is loading - null pointer error could happen.
This patch added wait/completion to ensure all channels are ready before
vmbus loading completes. So another module won't have any uninitialized channel.
