commit c807d6cd089d2f4951baa838081ec5ae3e2360f8 upstream.
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.

commit 85520856466ed6bc3b1ccb013cddac70ceb437db upstream.
If VF NIC is registered earlier, NETDEV_REGISTER event is replayed,
but NETDEV_POST_INIT is not.
Move register_netdevice_notifier() earlier, so the call back
function is set before probing.
