hv_netvsc: rework link status change handling
There are several issues in hv_netvsc driver with regards to link status
change handling:
- RNDIS_STATUS_NETWORK_CHANGE results in calling userspace helper doing
'/etc/init.d/network restart' and this is inappropriate and broken for
many reasons.
- link_watch infrastructure only sends one notification per second and
in case of e.g. paired disconnect/connect events we get only one
notification with last status. This makes it impossible to handle such
situations in userspace.
Redo link status changes handling in the following way:
- Create a list of reconfig events in network device context.
- On a reconfig event add it to the list of events and schedule
netvsc_link_change().
- In netvsc_link_change() ensure 2-second delay between link status
changes.
- Handle RNDIS_STATUS_NETWORK_CHANGE as a paired disconnect/connect event.
