Not really related to this patch series (which btw fixes my issue,
thanks!), but I found one addition issue. Systemd fails to rename VF
interface:

 kernel: mlx4_core 0002:00:02.0 eth2: joined to eth1
 kernel: hv_netvsc 33b7a6f9-6736-451f-8fce-b382eaa50bee eth1: VF registering: eth2
 kernel: hv_netvsc 33b7a6f9-6736-451f-8fce-b382eaa50bee eth1: Data path switched to VF: eth2
 kernel: mlx4_en: eth2: Link Up
 NetworkManager[750]: <info>  [1502200557.0821] device (eth2): link connected
 NetworkManager[750]: <info>  [1502200557.1004] manager: (eth2): new Ethernet device (/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/6)
 systemd-udevd[6942]: Error changing net interface name 'eth2' to 'enP2p0s2': Device or resource busy
 systemd-udevd[6942]: could not rename interface '6' from 'eth2' to 'enP2p0s2': Device or resource busy

With some debug added I figured out what's wrong: __netvsc_vf_setup()
does dev_open() which sets IFF_UP flag on the interface. When systemd
tries to rename the interface we get into dev_change_name() and this
fails with -EBUSY when (dev->flags & IFF_UP).

The issue is of less importance as we're not supposed to configure VF
interface now. However, we may still want to get a stable name for it.

Any idea how this can be fixed?
