Yes.

After host sleep, both RNDIS_STATUS_MEDIA_CONNECT and
RNDIS_STATUS_NETWORK_CHANGE events are received, but not necessarily in
this order. If RNDIS_STATUS_MEDIA_CONNECT arrives later, the flag saved
in rdev->link_change previously will trigger the refresh, not in the
RNDIS_STATUS_NETWORK_CHANGE event, but in the latter RNDIS_STATUS_MEDIA_CONNECT
event.

I previously tried UMH_NO_WAIT, but not working. We need to wait for the
exec (not process completion) in this case. Since it's in the work queue,
a bit of waiting is OK.
