[net,v3] hv_netvsc: Mark VF as slave before exposing it to user-mode
Commit Message
From: Long Li <longli@microsoft.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.
An example of a user-mode program depending on this flag is cloud-init
(https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/blob/19.3/cloudinit/net/__init__.py)
When scanning interfaces, it checks on if this interface has a master to
decide if it should be configured. There are other user-mode programs perform
similar checks.
This commit moves the code of setting the slave flag to the time before VF is
exposed to user-mode.

Change since v1:
Use a new function to handle NETDEV_POST_INIT.
Change since v2:
Add "net" in subject. Add more details on the user-mode program behavior.
