5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Haiyang Zhang haiyangz@microsoft.com
commit 85520856466ed6bc3b1ccb013cddac70ceb437db upstream.
If VF NIC is registered earlier, NETDEV_REGISTER event is replayed, but NETDEV_POST_INIT is not.
Move register_netdevice_notifier() earlier, so the call back function is set before probing.
