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.

This part looks like unrelated change.
The VF mac address shouldn't change, but if it did don't look at i.

Although correct, this is an awkward way to write this.
There are two events which call register_vf() but the post init
one short circuits and doesn't really register the VF.

The code is clearer if flag is set in switch statement.

At the time of NETDEV_POST_INIT, the perm_addr is not assigned yet (last it was copied from dev_addr when device is registered).

I will add a dedicated function to handle NETDEV_POST_INIT.
