Currently when more than one tap is created on Windows, QEMU immediately
crashes with a null-deref since the code incorrectly uses a static global
for the tap state.

Instead, this series allocates a structure for each tap at startup.
We also take care of cleaning up when the tap device is close.

NOTE: Checkpatch has a false positive on the first commit, where it
mistakenly flags a cast before an address-of operator as a bitwise
and operator missing spaces.
