From: Long Li <longli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
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.
