Subject: [PATCH] vhost-vdpa: filter VIRTIO_F_RING_PACKED feature

vhost-vdpa IOCTLs (eg. VHOST_GET_VRING_BASE, VHOST_SET_VRING_BASE)
don't support packed virtqueue well yet, so let's filter the
VIRTIO_F_RING_PACKED feature for now in vhost_vdpa_get_features().

This way, even if the device supports it, we don't risk it being
negotiated, then the VMM is unable to set the vring state properly.

Fixes: 4c8cf31885f6 ("vhost: introduce vDPA-based backend")
Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
Signed-off-by: Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare@...hat.com>

Notes:
    This patch should be applied before the "[PATCH v2 0/3] vhost_vdpa:
    better PACKED support" series [1] and backported in stable branches.
    
    We can revert it when we are sure that everything is working with
    packed virtqueues.
    
    Thanks,
    Stefano
