Subject: [PATCH] hv_netvsc: support a new host capability AllowRscDisabledStatus

A future Azure host update has the potential to change RSC behavior
in the VMs. To avoid this invisble change, Vswitch will check the
netvsc version of a VM before sending its RSC capabilities, and will
always indicate that the host performs RSC if the VM doesn't have an
updated netvsc driver regardless of the actual host RSC capabilities.
Netvsc now advertises a new capability: AllowRscDisabledStatus
The host will check for this capability before sending RSC status,
and if a VM does not have this capability it will send RSC enabled
status regardless of host RSC settings
