[PATCH PATCH net v2 2/4] hv_netvsc: avoid repeated updates of packet filter

[Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>]

The netvsc driver can get repeated calls to netvsc_rx_mode during
network setup; each of these calls ends up scheduling the lower
layers to update tha packet filter. This update requires an
request/response to the host. So avoid doing this if we already
know that the correct packet filter value is set.
