storvsc uses the spinlock of the hv_device's primary channel to serialize modifications of stor_chns[] performed by storvsc_do_io() and storvsc_change_target_cpu(), when it could/should use a (per-) storvsc_device spinlock: this change untangles the synchronization mechanism for the (storvsc-specific) stor_chns[] array from the "generic" VMBus code and data structures, clarifying the scope of this synchronization mechanism.

FWIW, this patch will need to get routed to the SCSI maintainers and go through the SCSI tree. Reviewed-by: Michael Kelley <redacted>
