Drivers: hv: vmbus: Remove support for Hyper-V 2008 and Hyper-V 2008R2/Win7
The VMbus driver has special case code for running on the first released versions of Hyper-V: 2008 and 2008 R2/Windows 7. These versions are now out of support (except for extended security updates) and lack the performance features needed for effective production usage of Linux guests. Simplify the code by removing the negotiation of the VMbus protocol versions required for these releases of Hyper-V, and by removing the special case code for handling these VMbus protocol versions.
