The callback model of handling network failover is not suitable
in the current form.
1. It was merged without addressing all the review feedback.
2. It was merged without approval of any of the netvsc maintainers.
3. Design discussion on how to handle PV/VF fallback is still
not complete.
4. IMHO the code model using callbacks is trying to make
something common which isn't.
Revert the netvsc specific changes for now. Does not impact ongoing
development of failover model for virtio.
Revisit this after a simpler library based failover kernel
routines are extracted.
This reverts
commit 9c6ffbacdb57 ("hv_netvsc: fix error return code in netvsc_probe()")
and
commit 1ff78076d8dd ("netvsc: refactor notifier/event handling code to use the failover framework")

The conversion of rndis friendly name to utf8 uses a standard
kernel routine which is optional in config. Therefore build
would fail for some configurations. Resolve by selecting needed
library.
