[PATCH 4/7] net/netvsc: add NOTICE-level debug logging for VF hotplug retry

Add detailed NOTICE-level logging at every decision point in the
netvsc_hotplug_retry function to diagnose VF re-attach failures:
- Log each interface found in the net/ directory
- Log when sa_family is not ARPHRD_ETHER
- Log MAC address comparison details on mismatch
- Log when the retry loop exits (with retry count)
These logs help correlate DPDK hotplug retry behavior with kernel
dmesg timestamps to identify timing issues during VF re-attach
after PCI rescan on Azure.
