Subject: [PATCH V3 2/2] virtio-net: sanitize buggy features advertised by host

This patch tries to detect the possible buggy features advertised by host
and sanitize them. One example is booting virtio-net with only ctrl_vq
disabled, qemu may still advertise many features which depends on it. This
will trigger several BUG()s in virtnet_send_command().

This patch utilizes the sanitize_features() method, and disables all
features that depends on ctrl_vq if it was not advertised.

This fixes the crash when booting with ctrl_vq=off using qemu.
