[Qemu-devel] [PULL 3/7] net: don't set native endianness

["Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>]

commit 5be7d9f1b1452613b95c6ba70b8d7ad3d0797991
    vhost-net: tell tap backend about the vnet endianness
makes vhost net always try to set LE - even if that matches the
native endian-ness.

This makes it fail on older kernels on x86 without TUNSETVNETLE support.

To fix, make qemu_set_vnet_le/qemu_set_vnet_be skip the
ioctl if it matches the host endian-ness.
