Jason Wang 02cbaec37a netvsc: don't flush peers notifying work during setting mtu
[ Upstream commit 50dc875f2e ]

There's a possible deadlock if we flush the peers notifying work during setting
mtu:

This is because we hold the rtnl_lock() before ndo_change_mtu() and try to flush
the work in netvsc_change_mtu(), in the mean time, netdev_notify_peers() may be
called from worker and also trying to hold the rtnl_lock. This will lead the
flush won't succeed forever. Solve this by not canceling and flushing the work,
this is safe because the transmission done by NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS was
synchronized with the netif_tx_disable() called by netvsc_change_mtu().
