This patch fixes the behavior of the hv_set_ifconfig script when setting
the interface ip. Sometimes the interface has already been configured by
network daemon, in this case hv_set_ifconfig causes "RTNETLINK: file
exists error"; in order to avoid this error this patch makes sure double
checks the interface before trying anything.

And if the daemon sets the address after you test it but before
you try to set it in the script, what happens?
This is why I hate changes like this. They don't remove the problem,
they make it smaller. And smaller in a bad way. Smaller makes the
problem even more harder to diagnose when it happens.
There is implicitly no synchonization between network configuration
daemons and things people run by hand like this script.
So, caveat emptor.
I'm not applying this, sorry.
This is just part of the resolution, actually. For RHEL I also configure
hyperv-daemons' systemd config file to be run only after network service
is up.
So perhaps my solution should be distro-agnostic and only involve this
script as part of it? In this case I'll elaborate a little more then.
Thanks for the comment.
