hv: hv_fcopy: drop the obsolete message on transfer failure

In the case the user-space daemon crashes, hangs or is killed, we
need to down the semaphore, otherwise, after the daemon starts next
time, the obsolete data in fcopy_transaction.message or
fcopy_transaction.fcopy_msg will be used immediately.
