Actually, looking more at this I think we have additional issues:
netvsc_unregister_vf() may get executed _before_ netvsc_vf_update() gets
a chance and we just cancel it so the data path is never switched
back. I actually have a VM where I suppose it happens ...
[ 7.235566] hv_netvsc 33b7a6f9-6736-451f-8fce-b382eaa50bee eth1: VF up:
enP2p0s2
[ 7.235569] hv_netvsc 33b7a6f9-6736-451f-8fce-b382eaa50bee eth1: Datapath
switched to VF: enP2p0s2
On VF removal:
[ 17.675885] mlx4_en: enP2p0s2: Close port called
[ 17.727005] hv_netvsc 33b7a6f9-6736-451f-8fce-b382eaa50bee eth1: VF
unregistering: enP2p0s2
<and nothing after - so the data path is not switched>
We need to make sure netvsc_vf_update() is always processed on removal.
