Currently the netvsc/VF binding logic only checks the PCI serial number.

The upcoming Microsoft Azure Network Adapter (MANA) supports multiple
net_device interfaces (each such interface is called a "vPort", and has
its unique MAC address) which are backed by the same VF PCI device, so
the binding logic should check both the MAC address and the PCI serial
number.

The change should not break any other existing VF drivers, because
Hyper-V NIC SR-IOV implementation requires the netvsc network
interface and the VF network interface have the same MAC address.
