Subject: [RFC 4/6] vDPA: !FEATURES_OK should not block querying device config space

Users may want to query the config space of a vDPA device,
to choose a appropriate one for a certain guest. This means the
users need to read the config space before FEATURES_OK, and
the existence of config space contents does not depend on
FEATURES_OK.

This commit removes FEATURES_OK blocker in vdpa_dev_config_fill()
which calls vdpa_dev_net_config_fill() for virtio-net
