Drivers: hv: vmbus: Use a round-robin algorithm for picking the outgoing channel
The current algorithm for picking an outgoing channel was not distributing the load well. Implement a simple round-robin scheme to ensure good distribution of the outgoing traffic. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan <kys@microsoft.com> Reviewed-by: Long Li <longli@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
