hv_netvsc: Mark VF as slave before exposing it to user-mode

Browse source

commit c807d6cd08 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.
