hv_netvsc: Fix memory leak when removing rndis device

Since net_device->extension is eventually freed in free_netvsc_device(), we refrain from setting it to NULL inside rndis_filter_device_remove() Signed-off-by: Mohammed Gamal <mgamal@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
