Haiyang is correct.
I think it's still good to add a "break;", e.g. my understanding is something
like the below (this is untested):

+static struct net_device *get_matching_netvsc_dev(net_device *event_ndev)
+{
+       /* Skip NetVSC interfaces */
+       if (event_ndev->netdev_ops == &device_ops)
+               return NULL;
+
+       /* Avoid non-Ethernet type devices */
+       if (event_ndev->type != ARPHRD_ETHER)
+               return NULL;
+
+       /* Avoid Vlan dev with same MAC registering as VF */
+       if (is_vlan_dev(event_ndev))
+               return NULL;
+
+       /* Avoid Bonding master dev with same MAC registering as VF */
+       if (netif_is_bond_master(event_ndev))
+               return NULL;
+
+       return get_netvsc_byslot(event_ndev);
+}

+	for_each_netdev(dev_net(net), vf_netdev) {
+ 		if (get_matching_netvsc_dev(event_dev) != net)
+			continue;
+
+		netvsc_prepare_bonding(vf_netdev);
+		netvsc_register_vf(vf_netdev, VF_REG_IN_PROBE);
+		__netvsc_vf_setup(net, vf_netdev);
+
+		break;
+	}

We can also use get_matching_netvsc_dev() in netvsc_netdev_event().

BTW, please add a space between "hv_netvsc:" and "Register" in the Subject.
