[PATCH 2/3] net: add ability to hide (disable) vhost_net

[Yuri Benditovich <yuri.benditovich@daynix.com>]

If 'vhost_net_disabled' in the NetClientState of the
net device, get_vhost_net for TAP returns NULL. Network adapters
can use this ability to hide the vhost_net temporary between
resets in case some active features contradict with vhost.
