Subject: [PATCH net] hv_netvsc: fix race of netvsc and VF register_netdevice

The rtnl lock also needs to be held before rndis_filter_device_add()
which advertises nvsp_2_vsc_capability / sriov bit, and triggers
VF NIC offering and registering. If VF NIC finished register_netdev()
earlier it may cause name based config failure.

To fix this issue, move the call to rtnl_lock() before
rndis_filter_device_add(), so VF will be registered later than netvsc
/ synthetic NIC, and gets a name numbered (ethX) after netvsc.

And, move register_netdevice_notifier() earlier, so the call back
function is set before probing.
