Receive Segment Coalescing (RSC) in the vSwitch is a feature available in
Windows Server 2019 hosts and later. It reduces the per packet processing
overhead by coalescing multiple TCP segments when possible. This happens
mostly when TCP traffics are among different guests on same host.
This patch adds netvsc driver support for this feature.
The patch also updates NVS version to 6.1 as needed for RSC
enablement.

Add VMBus protocol version 4.0. and 5.0 to support Windows 10 and newer HyperV hosts.
For VMBus 4.0 and newer HyperV, the netvsc gpadl teardown must be done after vmbus close.

Background:
- UDP 4-tuple hash type is unconditionally enabled in Hyper-V on WS2016,
which is _not_ affected by NDIS_OBJTYPE_RSS_PARAMS.
- Non-fragment UDP/IPv4 datagrams' hash type is delivered to VM as
TCP_IPV4.
Currently this erroneous behavior only applies to WS2016/Windows10.
Force l3/l4 protocol check, if the RXed packet's hash type is TCP_IPV4,
and the Hyper-V is running on WS2016/Windows10. If the RXed packet is
UDP datagram, adjust mbuf hash type to UDP_IPV4.

- Add size of an ethernet header to the value configured to NVS. This
does not seem to have any effects if MTU is 1500, but fix hypervisor
side's setting if MTU > 1500.
- Override the MTU setting according to the view from the hypervisor
side.

Hyper-V's NIC SR-IOV implementation needs a Hyper-V synthetic NIC and
a VF NIC to work together (both NICs have the same MAC address), mainly to
support seamless live migration.
When the VF device becomes UP (or DOWN), the synthetic NIC driver needs
to switch the data path from the synthetic NIC to the VF (or the opposite).
Note: multicast/broadcast packets are still received through the synthetic
NIC and we need to inject the packets through the VF interface (if the VF is
UP), even if the synthetic NIC is DOWN (so we need to force the rxfilter
to be NDIS_PACKET_TYPE_PROMISCUOUS, when the VF is UP).

Since hypervisor will not drain the TX bufring, once the channels are
revoked:
- Setup vmbus orphan handler properly.
- Make sure that suspension will not wait the TX bufring draining
forever.
- GC the pending TX descs on detach path, before freeing the busdma
stuffs.
