With -netdev, virtio devices present offload
features to guest, depending on the backend used.
Thus, removing host netdev peer while guest is
active leads to guest-visible inconsistency and/or crashes.
As a solution, while guest (NIC) peer device exists,
we prevent the host peer pointer from being deleted.
This patch does this by adding peer_deleted flag in nic state:
if host device is going away while guest device
is around, set this flag and keep a shell of
the host device around for as long as guest device exists.
The link is put down so all packets will get discarded.
Note: this does not fix the fact that hotplug is asynchronous and
depends on the guest. At the moment, management can detect that pci
device deletion is delayed by doing e.g. info net. As a next step, we
shall add commands that control hotplug/unplug without removing the
device, an event to report that guest has responded to the hotplug
event, and a command to cause instant device removal.

So the below has survived some stress-testing, I'll put
this on my tree unless there are any objections.
