On CoCo VMs without confidential VMBus, the netvsc send and receive buffers must be made host-visible by decrypting them. These buffers are vmalloc'ed, but set_memory_decrypted()/encrypted() do not work on vmalloc'ed memory. This use case is (so far) unique to netvsc, so solve it locally rather than changing the set_memory() or allocation APIs. Add vmbus_alloc_buffer()/vmbus_free_buffer() to the VMBus core. When the guest's isolation model requires it, allocate the buffer as a list of physically-contiguous chunks via alloc_pages_node(), starting at MAX_PAGE_ORDER and falling back to smaller orders so the allocation still succeeds under memory fragmentation. Each chunk is decrypted in place via set_memory_decrypted() on its direct-map address, and the chunks are then stitched into a single virtually-contiguous range with vmap(). Buffers that do not need decryption keep using vzalloc(). This approach minimizes scattering of decrypted 4 KiB pages through the kernel direct map and the resulting shattering of large page mappings. Use vmbus_establish_gpadl_caller_decrypted() so there is no attempt to decrypt the virtual address. At teardown, vunmap() the range and re-encrypt and free each chunk individually; any chunk that fails re-encryption is leaked to prevent accidentally freeing decrypted memory. Because vunmap() and set_memory_encrypted() must run in process context, replace the rcu_head/call_rcu() pair used to defer free_netvsc_device() with rcu_work/queue_rcu_work(). This also fixes a small race condition where the buffers may be accessed while being re-encrypted by moving the re-encryption after the RCU grace period.
