Subject: [PATCH net-next v12 4/5] virtio_net: Introduce VIRTIO_NET_F_STANDBY feature bit

This feature bit can be used by hypervisor to indicate virtio_net device to
act as a standby for another device with the same MAC address.

VIRTIO_NET_F_STANDBY is defined as bit 62 as it is a device feature bit.
