[PATCH] staging: hv: Fix GARP not sent after Quick Migration

[Haiyang Zhang]

After Quick Migration, the network is not immediately operational in the
current context when receiving RNDIS_STATUS_MEDIA_CONNECT event. So, I put
the netif_notify_peers() into a scheduled work, otherwise GARP packet will
not be sent after quick migration, and cause network disconnection.

Thanks to Mike Surcouf <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> for reporting the bug and
testing the patch.

This patch should also be backported to stable kernel 2.6.32 and later.
