6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
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.
Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Fixes: e04e7a7bbd4b ("hv_netvsc: Fix a deadlock by getting rtnl lock earlier in netvsc_probe()")
