Subject: [RFC 4/4] vDPA: report device endian-ness to userspace through netlink

This commit introduces a new netlink attr VDPA_ATTR_DEV_ENDIAN
to report device endian-ness to usersapce.

So the userspace tools can be aware of the endian-ness of
the device, even uninitialized legacy/transitional devices.
