Subject: [PATCH 4.14 236/496] hv_netvsc: fix locking during VF setup

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

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

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

[ Upstream commit b0dee7910317f41f398838992516af6a3b981d86 ]

The dev_uc/mc_sync calls need to have the device address list
locked. This was spotted by running with lockdep enabled.
