2.6.38-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Haiyang Zhang <[email protected]>

commit c996edcf1c451b81740abbcca5257ed7e353fcc6 upstream.

After Quick Migration, the network is not immediately operational in the
current context when receiving RNDIS_STATUS_MEDIA_CONNECT event. So, I added
another netif_notify_peers() into a scheduled work, otherwise GARP packet will
not be sent after quick migration, and cause network disconnection.

Thanks to Mike Surcouf <[email protected]> for reporting the bug and
testing the patch.
