This patch breaks re-initialization of the network device on MTU changes.

Doing:
	# ip li set dev eth1 mtu 9000

will hang in rndis_filter_add waiting for subchannel notification.
This is likely because when the vmbus device is reopened the sub channels
are not correctly created.  Not sure what is wrong with the patch, but my
suspicion is that the close/rescind events are no longer being sent to the
host.
