Recently Wang Jian reported some KVP issues on the v4.4 kernel:

sometimes if the hv_kvp_daemon doesn't timely start, the host may not be able to query the VM's IP address via KVP.
I identified these 4 mainline patches to fix the issues. The patches can be applied cleanly to the latest 4.4.y branch (currently it's v4.4.161).
The first 3 are simply cherry-picked from the mainline, and the 4th has to be reworked for the v4.4 kernel.
Wang Jian tested the 4 patches, and the issues can be fixed. I also did some tests and found no regression.
All now queued up, and I added the last one to 4.9.y as well. If it shouldn't be there, please let me know.
