The code above needs to work with and without netvsc (the possible master device) present.
I don't think that's a reasonable requirement for the kernel code. The auto-bonding already puts the kernel into business of guessing policy, which frankly we shouldn't be in. Having the kernel guess even harder that there will be a master, but it's not there yet, is not reasonable.
