Subject: [PATCH net v2] hv_netvsc: Fix hibernation for mlx5 VF driver

mlx5_suspend()/resume() keep the network interface, so during hibernation
netvsc_unregister_vf() and netvsc_register_vf() are not called, and hence
netvsc_resume() should call netvsc_vf_changed() to switch the data path
back to the VF after hibernation. Note: after we close and re-open the
vmbus channel of the netvsc NIC in netvsc_suspend() and netvsc_resume(),
the data path is implicitly switched to the netvsc NIC. Similarly,
netvsc_suspend() should not call netvsc_unregister_vf(), otherwise the VF
can no longer be used after hibernation.

For mlx4, since the VF network interafce is explicitly destroyed and
re-created during hibernation (see mlx4_suspend()/resume()), hv_netvsc
already explicitly switches the data path from and to the VF automatically
via netvsc_register_vf() and netvsc_unregister_vf(), so mlx4 doesn't need
this fix. Note: mlx4 can still work with the fix because in
netvsc_suspend()/resume() ndev_ctx->vf_netdev is NULL for mlx4.

Changes in v2 (Thanks Jakub Kicinski <kuba@...nel.org>):
    Added coments in the changelog and the code about the implicit
data path switching to the netvsc when we close/re-open the vmbus
channels.
    Used reverse xmas order ordering in netvsc_remove().
