> 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.
