[PATCH v3 1/2] virtio_net: disable VIRTIO_NET_F_STANDBY if VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC is not set

[Laurent Vivier]

failover relies on the MAC address to pair the primary and the standby
devices:

  "[...] 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."

  Documentation/networking/net_failover.rst

This patch disables the STANDBY feature if the MAC address is not
provided by the hypervisor.
