Subject: [PATCH v2] hv_netvsc: Set VF priv_flags to IFF_NO_ADDRCONF before open to prevent IPv6 addrconf

Set an additional flag IFF_NO_ADDRCONF to prevent ipv6 addrconf.

Commit 8a321cf7becc6c065ae595b837b826a2a81036b9
("net: add IFF_NO_ADDRCONF and use it in bonding to prevent ipv6 addrconf")

This new flag change was not made to hv_netvsc resulting in the VF being
assinged an IPv6.

Fixes: 8a321cf7becc ("net: add IFF_NO_ADDRCONF and use it in bonding to prevent ipv6 addrconf")
