When netvsc_attach() is called by operations like changing MTU, etc.,
an extra wakeup may happen while netvsc_attach() calling
rndis_filter_device_add() which sends rndis messages when queue is
stopped in netvsc_detach(). The completion message will wake up queue 0.
We can reproduce the issue by changing MTU etc., then the wake_queue
counter from "ethtool -S" will increase beyond stop_queue counter:
stop_queue: 0
wake_queue: 1
The issue causes queue wake up, and counter increment, no other ill
effects in current code. So we didn't see any network problem for now.
To fix this, initialize tx_disable to true, and set it to false when
the NIC is ready to be attached or registered.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
