That was already the behavior before, but are you certain you
want to unconditionally block without any possible timeout?
Yes, this is OK. After PATCH4 of this series there is only one place
which takes the vf_use_cnt (netvsc_recv_callback()) and it is an
interrupt handler, there are no sleepable operations there.
