Subject: [PATCH net,v4, 2/3] hv_netvsc: Fix race of register_netdevice_notifier and VF register

If VF NIC is registered earlier, NETDEV_REGISTER event is replayed,
but NETDEV_POST_INIT is not.

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

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
Fixes: e04e7a7bbd4b ("hv_netvsc: Fix a deadlock by getting rtnl lock earlier in netvsc_probe()")
