virtio-net: Don't print the compat warning for the default device
Compat messages are there to print a warning when the user creates a virtio
device for the VM, but the guest doesn't initialize it.
This generally works great, except that kvmtool will always create a
virtio-net device, even if the user hasn't specified one, which means that
each time kvmtool loads a guest that doesn't probe the network interface,
the user will get the compat warning. This can get particularly annoying
when running kvm-unit-tests, which doesn't need to use a network interface,
and the virtio-net warning is displayed after each test.
Let's fix this by skipping the compat message in the case of the
automatically created virtio-net device. This lets kvmtool keep the compat
warnings as they are, but removes the false positive.
Even if the user is relying on kvmtool creating the default virtio-net
device, a missing network interface in the guest is very easy to
discover.
