Drivers: hv: utils: run polling callback always in interrupt context

All channel interrupts are bound to specific VCPUs in the guest
at the point channel is created. While currently, we invoke the
polling function on the correct CPU (the CPU to which the channel
is bound to) in some cases we may run the polling function in
a non-interrupt context. This  potentially can cause an issue as the
polling function can be interrupted by the channel callback function.
Fix the issue by running the polling function on the appropriate CPU
at interrupt level. Additional details of the issue being addressed by
this patch are given below:

Currently hv_fcopy_onchannelcallback is called from interrupts and also
via the ->write function of hv_utils. Since the used global variables to
maintain state are not thread safe the state can get out of sync.
This affects the variable state as well as the channel inbound buffer.

As suggested by KY adjust hv_poll_channel to always run the given
callback on the cpu which the channel is bound to. This avoids the need
for locking because all the util services are single threaded and only
one transaction is active at any given point in time.

Additionally, remove the context variable, they will always be the same as
recv_channel.
