[PATCH] hv: do not lose pending heartbeat vmbus packets

From: Long Li <longli at microsoft.com>

The host keeps sending heartbeat packets independent of guest responding to them. In some situations, there might be multiple heartbeat packets pending in the ring buffer. Don't lose them, read them all.
