This is a nit, but the loop exit path bugs me. When a connection
is established, the loop is exited by the "break", and then
conn_state has to be tested again to decide whether the loop
exited due to getting a connection vs. hitting the end of the list.
Slightly cleaner in my mind would be:

for (i=0; ; i++) {
if (i == ARRAY_SIZE(vmbus_versions))
goto cleanup;

version = vmbus_versions[i];
ret = vmbus_negotiate_version(msginfo, version);
if (ret == -ETIMEDOUT)
goto cleanup;

if (vmbus_connection.conn_state == CONNECTED)
break;
}
