commit b29ef354 upstream.

Minimize failures in this function by pre-allocating the buffer
for posting messages. The hypercall for posting the message can fail
for a number of reasons:

        1. Transient resource related issues
        2. Buffer alignment
        3. Buffer cannot span a page boundry

We address issues 2 and 3 by preallocating a per-cpu page for the buffer.
Transient resource related failures are handled by retrying by the callers
of this function.

This patch is based on the investigation
done by Dexuan Cui <decui@microsoft.com>.

I would like to thank Sitsofe Wheeler <sitsofe@yahoo.com>
