This reworks queue specific virtchnl messages to use the added transaction API. It is fairly mechanical and generally makes the functions using it more simple. Functions using transaction API no longer need to take the vc_buf_lock since it's not using it anymore. After filling out an idpf_vc_xn_params struct, idpf_vc_xn_exec takes care of the send and recv handling. This also converts those functions where appropriate to use auto-variables instead of manually calling kfree. This greatly simplifies the memory alloc paths and makes them less prone memory leaks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
