If the kernel netvsc driver subsequently reloads the MANA device and opens it, incoming traffic arrives on the MANA device immediately, before the queues are fully initialized. This causes bogus RX completion events to appear on the TX completion queue, triggering a kernel WARNING in mana_poll_tx_cq(). Fix this by switching the data path back to synthetic (via NVS_DATAPATH_SYNTHETIC) in hn_vf_stop() before stopping the VF device. This tells the host to route traffic through the synthetic path, so that when the MANA driver recreates its queues, no unexpected traffic arrives until netvsc explicitly switches back to VF. Also update hn_vf_start() to switch the data path back to VF after the VF device is started, enabling correct stop/start cycling. Both functions now use write locks instead of read locks since they modify vf_vsc_switched state.
