Zhu Lingshan 228565100d vDPA: allow userspace to query features of a vDPA device
This commit adds a new vDPA netlink attribution
VDPA_ATTR_VDPA_DEV_SUPPORTED_FEATURES. Userspace can query
features of vDPA devices through this new attr.

This commit invokes vdpa_config_ops.get_config()
rather than vdpa_get_config_unlocked() to read
the device config spcae, so no races in
vdpa_set_features_unlocked()

Userspace tool iproute2 example:
$ vdpa dev config show vdpa0
vdpa0: mac 00:e8:ca:11:be:05 link up link_announce false max_vq_pairs 4 mtu 1500
  negotiated_features MRG_RXBUF CTRL_VQ MQ VERSION_1 ACCESS_PLATFORM
  dev_features MTU MAC MRG_RXBUF CTRL_VQ MQ ANY_LAYOUT VERSION_1 ACCESS_PLATFORM

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
