Subject: [PATCH net,v5, 3/3] hv_netvsc: Mark VF as slave before exposing it to user-mode

From: Long Li <longli@...rosoft.com>

When a VF is being exposed form the kernel, it should be marked as "slave"
before exposing to the user-mode. The VF is not usable without netvsc
running as master. The user-mode should never see a VF without the "slave"
flag.

This commit moves the code of setting the slave flag to the time before
VF is exposed to user-mode.

v5:
Change function name netvsc_prepare_slave() to netvsc_prepare_bonding().
v4:
Add comments in get_netvsc_byslot() explaining the need to check dev_addr
v2:
Use a new function to handle NETDEV_POST_INIT.
