Hi Greg,
Can you please take a look at this patch?

We need it to fix a regression introduced by me in:
Fixes: fc62c3b1977d ("Drivers: hv: kvp: Fix two "this statement may fall through" warnings")

The faulty patch is being meged into the old stable kernels... So we need to
take this patch ASAP. Thanks!
