Drivers: hv: hv_fcopy: fix a race condition for SMP guest
We should schedule the 5s "timer work" before starting the data transfer, otherwise, the data transfer code may finish so fast on another virtual cpu that when the code(fcopy_write()) trying to cancel the 5s "timer work" can occasionally fail because the "timer work" may haven't been scheduled yet and as a result the fcopy process will be aborted wrongly by fcopy_work_func() in 5s. Thank Liz Zhang <lizzha@microsoft.com> for the initial investigation on the bug.
