Junjie Mao 55105dbdeb DM: notify VHM request complete after pausing the VM
It is necessary to notify the VHM and hypervisor on the completion of a VHM
request even when the UOS is in suspend or system reset mode because the VHM and
hypervisor rely on the notification to reset their own states on the
request.

Currently the VHM request state is checked against REQ_STATE_PROCESSING instead
of REQ_STATE_COMPLETE when handling system reset or suspend/resume, leading to a
completed request unnotified, and causing the HV to complain on an occupied VHM
request when it raises a new one.

This patch fixes this issue by properly notifying completed requests to the VHM
& hypervisor. Some concerns are raised during a discussion on the potential
races which does not hurt for now but may in the future. These considerations
and potential solutions are documented as comments for future reference.

ACRN Device Model
#################

Introduction
============
The ACRN Device Model provides **device sharing** capabilities between the Service OS and Guest OSs. It is a component that is used in conjunction with the `ACRN Hypervisor`_ and this is installed within the Service OS. You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_ website.
