On regular bootup, devices get registered to VMBus first, so when
uio_hv_generic driver for a particular device type is probed,
the device is already initialized and added, so sysfs creation in
hv_uio_probe() works fine. However, when the device is removed
and brought back, the channel gets rescinded and the device again gets
registered to VMBus. However this time, the uio_hv_generic driver is
already registered to probe for that device and in this case sysfs
creation is tried before the device's kobject gets initialized
completely.
Fix this by moving the core logic of sysfs creation of ring buffer,
from uio_hv_generic to HyperV's VMBus driver, where the rest of the
sysfs attributes for the channels are defined. While doing that, make
use of attribute groups and macros, instead of creating sysfs
directly, to ensure better error handling and code flow.
Problematic path:
vmbus_process_offer (A new offer comes for the VMBus device)
vmbus_add_channel_work
vmbus_device_register
|-> device_register
| |...
| |-> hv_uio_probe
| |...
| |-> sysfs_create_bin_file (leads to a warning as
| the primary channel's kobject, which is used to
| create the sysfs file, is not yet initialized)
|-> kset_create_and_add
|-> vmbus_add_channel_kobj (initialization of the primary
channel's kobject happens later)
Above code flow is sequential and the warning is always reproducible in
this path.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
