Netvsc PMD : Hotplug handling : checksum offloads

[Nandini Rangaswamy]

Hi Stephen/Long,
I did some more code instrumentation and I observed that when a hotplug
add event is received, the conf is applied back to VF and offloads work as
expected.
I also observe that when VF is removed, the offloads still continue to work
as expected. Is this because the offloads are not unset when VF is removed ?
Regards,
Nandini
