netvsc: use RCU to protect inner device structure
The netvsc driver has an internal structure (netvsc_device) which is created when device is opened and released when device is closed. And also opened/released when MTU or number of channels change. Since this is referenced in the receive and transmit path, it is safer to use RCU to protect/prevent use after free problems.
