Subject: [34-longterm 019/196] staging: hv: Fix GARP not sent after Quick Migration

From: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@...rosoft.com>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit c996edcf1c451b81740abbcca5257ed7e353fcc6 upstream.

After Quick Migration, the network is not immediately operational in the
current context when receiving RNDIS_STATUS_MEDIA_CONNECT event. So, I added
another netif_notify_peers() into a scheduled work, otherwise GARP packet will
not be sent after quick migration, and cause network disconnection.

Thanks to Mike Surcouf <mike@...couf.co.uk> for reporting the bug and
testing the patch.
