Drivers: hv: vmbus: Refactor chan->state if statement
The chan->state "if statement" was introduced in commit 6712cc9c2211 ("vmbus: don't return values for uninitalized channels"). That commit states that the purpose of the chan->state "if statement" is to prevent returning garbage or causing a kernel OOPS when the channel ring buffer is not initialized. The changes in this patch provide the same protection. Refactor the chan->state “if statement” in vmbus_chan_attr_show(): - Instead of checking the channel state in the "if statement", check whether the channel ring buffer pointer is NULL. Checking the ring buffer pointer makes this code consistent with hv_ringbuffer_get_debuginfo(). - Move the "if statement" to the four "_show" functions that access a channel ring buffer. Only four of the channel-level "_show" functions access a ring buffer. The ring buffer pointer does not need to be checked before calling the other "_show" functions, and moving the ring buffer pointer "if statement" to the "_show" functions that access a ring buffer makes the purpose of the "if statement" clear.
