SubjectRE: [PATCH 3/6] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Avoid double fetch of payload_size in vmbus_on_msg_dpc()

Similar comment here about providing some brief context in the commit
message on the problem that we are guarding against by removing the
double fetch.

I could see combining this patch with the previous one since the
motivation and pattern of the changes are exactly the same, just for
two different fields.
