When creating virtual functions, create the "virtfn%u" and "physfn" links 
in sysfs before attaching the driver.  Without this, there is a race when 
the driver attaches to the new virtual network interface and sends out an 
"add" udev event, and the network interface naming software (biosdevname
or systemd, for example) tries to look at these links.

Applied to pci/virtualization for v4.15, thanks!
