    hv_netvsc: Fix panic during namespace deletion with VF

    The existing code move the VF NIC to new namespace when NETDEV_REGISTER is
    received on netvsc NIC. During deletion of the namespace,
    default_device_exit_batch() >> default_device_exit_net() is called. When
    netvsc NIC is moved back and registered to the default namespace, it
    automatically brings VF NIC back to the default namespace. This will cause
    the default_device_exit_net() >> for_each_netdev_safe loop unable to detect
    the list end, and hit NULL ptr:

    To fix it, move the ns change to a workqueue, and take rtnl_lock to avoid
    changing the netdev list when default_device_exit_net() is using it.
