When Hyper-V host asks us to remove some util driver by closing the
appropriate channel there is no easy way to force the current file
descriptor holder to hang up but we can start to respond -EBADF to all
operations asking it to exit gracefully.
As we're setting hvt->mode from two separate contexts now we need to use
a proper locking.

As a preparation to reusing outmsg_lock to protect test-and-set openrations
on 'mode' rename it the more general 'lock'.

The intention is to make KVP/VSS drivers work through misc char devices.
Introduce an abstraction for kernel/userspace communication to make the
migration smoother. Transport operational mode (netlink or char device)
is determined by the first received message. To support driver upgrades
the switch from netlink to chardev operational mode is supported.
Every hv_util daemon is supposed to register 2 callbacks:
1) on_msg() to get notified when the userspace daemon sent a message;
2) on_reset() to get notified when the userspace daemon drops the connection.
