The existing code moves VF to the same namespace as the synthetic NIC
during netvsc_register_vf(). But, if the synthetic device is moved to a
new namespace after the VF registration, the VF won't be moved together.
To make the behavior more consistent, add a namespace check for synthetic
NIC's NETDEV_REGISTER event (generated during its move), and move the VF
if it is not in the same namespace.

v2: Move my fix to synthetic NIC's NETDEV_REGISTER event as suggested by Stephen.
