[PATCH] net/hyperv: RX packets may keep on increasing although the NIC is down

[Wenqi Ma <wenqi_ma@trendmicro.com.cn>]

Although the network interface is down, the RX packets number which
could be observed by ifconfig may keep on increasing.

This is because the WORK scheduled in netvsc_set_multicast_list()
may be executed after netvsc_close(). That means the rndis filter
may be re-enabled by do_set_multicast() even if it was closed by
netvsc_close().

By canceling possible WORK before close the rndis filter, the issue
could be never happened.
