This allows net to restart the device backend to configure SVQ on it.
Ideally, these changes should not be net specific and they could be done
in:
* vhost_vdpa_set_features (with VHOST_F_LOG_ALL)
* vhost_vdpa_set_vring_addr (with .enable_log)
* vhost_vdpa_set_log_base.
However, the vdpa net backend is the one with enough knowledge to
configure everything because of some reasons:
* Queues might need to be shadowed or not depending on its kind (control
vs data).
* Queues need to share the same map translations (iova tree).
Also, there are other problems that may have solutions but complicates
the implementation at this stage:
* We're basically duplicating vhost_dev_start and vhost_dev_stop, and
they could go out of sync. If we want to reuse them, we need a way to
skip some function calls to avoid recursiveness (either vhost_ops ->
vhost_set_features, vhost_set_vring_addr, ...).
* We need to traverse all vhost_dev of a given net device twice: one to
stop and get the vq state and another one after the reset to
configure properties like address, fd, etc.
Because of that it is cleaner to restart the whole net backend and
configure again as expected, similar to how vhost-kernel moves between
userspace and passthrough.
If more kinds of devices need dynamic switching to SVQ we can:
* Create a callback struct like VhostOps and move most of the code
there. VhostOps cannot be reused since all vdpa backend share them,
and to personalize just for networking would be too heavy.
* Add a parent struct or link all the vhost_vdpa or vhost_dev structs so
we can traverse them.
