[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] bus/vmbus: fix race in sub channel creation

[Stephen Hemminger]

When using multiple queues, there was a race with the kernel
in setting up the second channel. This is do due to a kernel change
whiche does not allow accessing sysfs files for Hyper-V
channels that are not opened.

The fix is simple, just move the logic to detect not ready
sub channels earlier in the existing loop.
