netvsc: add rcu_read locking to netvsc callback

[ Upstream commit 0719e72ccb801829a3d735d187ca8417f0930459 ]

The receive callback (in tasklet context) is using RCU to get reference
to associated VF network device but this is not safe. RCU read lock
needs to be held. Found by running with full lockdep debugging
enabled.
