There is an off-by-one bug here, which can cause host-to-guest write to stall.
When cur_write_sz == pending_sz, we shouldn't signal the host because it's
meaningless: the ring mustn't be 100% full.
But when cached_write_sz == pending_sz, we must signal the host.
Fixes: 433e19cf33d3 ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: finally fix
hv_need_to_signal_on_read()")
