The check added in commit c3582a2c4d0b ("hyperv: Add support for vNIC hot
removal") is incomplete as there is no synchronization between
vmbus_onoffer_rescind() and netvsc_send(). In case we get the offer after we
checked out_channel->rescind and before netvsc_send() finishes its job we can
get a crash as we'll be dealing with already freed channel.
Make netvsc_send() take additional reference to the channel with newly
introduced vmbus_get_channel(), this guarantees we won't lose the channel. We
can still get rescind while we're processing but this won't cause a crash.
