virtio_net: Extend virtio to use VF datapath when available

This patch enables virtio_net to switch over to a VF datapath when STANDBY
feature is enabled and a VF netdev is present with the same MAC address.
It allows live migration of a VM with a direct attached VF without the need
to setup a bond/team between a VF and virtio net device in the guest.

It uses the API that is exported by the net_failover driver to create and
and destroy a master failover netdev. When STANDBY feature is enabled, an
additional netdev(failover netdev) is created that acts as a master device
and tracks the state of the 2 lower netdevs. The original virtio_net netdev
is marked as 'standby' netdev and a passthru device with the same MAC is
registered as 'primary' netdev.

The hypervisor needs to unplug the VF device from the guest on the source
host and reset the MAC filter of the VF to initiate failover of datapath
to virtio before starting the migration. After the migration is completed,
the destination hypervisor sets the MAC filter on the VF and plugs it back
to the guest to switch over to VF datapath.

This patch is based on the discussion initiated by Jesse on this thread.

+virtio-net accelerated datapath: STANDBY mode
+=============================================
+
+net_failover enables hypervisor controlled accelerated datapath to virtio-net
+enabled VMs in a transparent manner with no/minimal guest userspace chanages.
+
+To support this, the hypervisor needs to enable VIRTIO_NET_F_STANDBY
+feature on the virtio-net interface and assign the same MAC address to both
+virtio-net and VF interfaces.
+
+Here is an example XML snippet that shows such configuration.
+
+ <interface type='network'>
+   <mac address='52:54:00:00:12:53'/>
+   <source network='enp66s0f0_br'/>
+   <target dev='tap01'/>
+   <model type='virtio'/>
+   <driver name='vhost' queues='4'/>
+   <link state='down'/>
+   <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0a' function='0x0'/>
+ </interface>
+ <interface type='hostdev' managed='yes'>
+   <mac address='52:54:00:00:12:53'/>
+   <source>
+     <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x42' slot='0x02' function='0x5'/>
+   </source>
+   <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0b' function='0x0'/>
+ </interface>
+
+Booting a VM with the above configuration will result in the following 3
+netdevs created in the VM.
+
+4: ens10: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000

+ens10 is the 'failover' master netdev, ens10nsby and ens11 are the slave
+'standby' and 'primary' netdevs respectively.
+
+Live Migration of a VM with SR-IOV VF & virtio-net in STANDBY mode
+==================================================================
+
+net_failover also enables hypervisor controlled live migration to be supported
+with VMs that have direct attached SR-IOV VF devices by automatic failover to
+the paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged.
+
+Here is a sample script that shows the steps to initiate live migration on
+the source hypervisor.
+

+  <mac address='52:54:00:00:12:53'/>
