RE: [PATCH 3/6] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Avoid double fetch of payload_size in vmbus_on_msg_dpc()

vmbus_on_msg_dpc() double fetches from payload_size.  The double fetch
can lead to a buffer overflow when (mem)copying the hv_message object.
Avoid the double fetch by saving the value of payload_size into a local
variable.
Similar comment here about providing some brief context in the commit
message on the problem that we are guarding against by removing the
double fetch.

I could see combining this patch with the previous one since the
motivation and pattern of the changes are exactly the same, just for
two different fields.
