Subject: virtio_net: don't require ANY_LAYOUT with VERSION_1

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 75993300d008f418ee2569a632185fc1d7d50674 ]

ANY_LAYOUT is a compatibility feature. It's implied
for VERSION_1 devices, and non-transitional devices
might not offer it. Change code to behave accordingly.
