[PATCH RFC 2/2] virtio_net: enable probing for NEEDS_RESET support

[Willem de Bruijn <willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com>]

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com>

Implement a mechanism to signal that a virtio device implements the
VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_NEEDS_RESET command.

Testing for VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_NEEDS_RESET support by issuing the request
and verifying the reset state would require an expensive state change.

To avoid that, add a status bit to the feature register used during
feature negotiation between host and guest.

Set the bit for virtio-net, which supports the feature.
