Subject: [PATCH 4.14 235/496] hv_netvsc: fix locking for rx_mode

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@...workplumber.org>

[ Upstream commit 35a57b7fef136fa3d5b735ba773f191b95110fa0 ]

The rx_mode operation handler is different than other callbacks
in that is not always called with rtnl held. Therefore use
RCU to ensure that references are valid.

Fixes: bee9d41b37ea ("hv_netvsc: propagate rx filters to VF")
