Subject[PATCH v3] hv: hv_fcopy: drop the obsolete message on transfer failure
Date
In the case the user-space daemon crashes, hangs or is killed, we
need to down the semaphore, otherwise, after the daemon starts next
time, the obsolete data in fcopy_transaction.message or
fcopy_transaction.fcopy_msg will be used immediately.

v2: I removed the "FCP" prefix as Greg asked.

I also updated the output message a little:
"FCP: failed to acquire the semaphore" -->
"can not acquire the semaphore: it is benign"

v3: I added the code in fcopy_release() as Jason Wang suggested.
I removed the pr_debug (it isn't so meaningful)and added a comment instead.
