Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] vdpa: fix improper error message when adding vdpa dev

In below example, before the fix, mtu attribute is supported
by the parent mgmtdev, but the error message showing "All
provided are not supported" is just misleading.

$ vdpa mgmtdev show
vdpasim_net:
  supported_classes net
  max_supported_vqs 3
  dev_features MTU MAC CTRL_VQ CTRL_MAC_ADDR ANY_LAYOUT VERSION_1 ACCESS_PLATFORM

$ vdpa dev add mgmtdev vdpasim_net name vdpasim0 mtu 5000 max_vqp 2
Error: vdpa: All provided attributes are not supported.
kernel answers: Operation not supported

After fix, the relevant error message will be like:

$ vdpa dev add mgmtdev vdpasim_net name vdpasim0 mtu 5000 max_vqp 2
Error: vdpa: Some provided attributes are not supported.
kernel answers: Operation not supported

$ vdpa dev add mgmtdev vdpasim_net name vdpasim0 max_vqp 2
Error: vdpa: All provided attributes are not supported.
kernel answers: Operation not supported
