[ Upstream commit 382e06d11e075a40b4094b6ef809f8d4bcc7ab2a ]
When the number of sub-channels offered by Hyper-V is >= the number of CPUs in the VM, calculate the correct number of sub-channels. The current code produces one too many.
This scenario arises only when the number of CPUs is artificially restricted (for example, with maxcpus=<n> on the kernel boot line), because Hyper-V normally offers a sub-channel count < number of CPUs. While the current code doesn't break, the extra sub-channel is unbalanced across the CPUs (for example, a total of 5 channels on a VM with 4 CPUs).
