hv_netvsc: fix potential deadlock in netvsc_vf_setxdp()

The MANA driver's probe registers netdevice via the following call chain:

mana_probe()
  register_netdev()
    register_netdevice()

register_netdevice() calls notifier callback for netvsc driver,
holding the netdev mutex via netdev_lock_ops().

Further this netvsc notifier callback end up attempting to acquire the
same lock again in dev_xdp_propagate() leading to deadlock.

netvsc_netdev_event()
  netvsc_vf_setxdp()
    dev_xdp_propagate()

This deadlock was not observed so far because net_shaper_ops was never set,
and thus the lock was effectively a no-op in this case. Fix this by using
netif_xdp_propagate() instead of dev_xdp_propagate() to avoid recursive
locking in this path.

And, since no deadlock is observed on the other path which is via
netvsc_probe, add the lock exclusivly for that path.

Also, clean up the unregistration path by removing the unnecessary call to
netvsc_vf_setxdp(), since unregister_netdevice_many_notify() already
performs this cleanup via dev_xdp_uninstall().
