This small series enables virtio-net device type in VDUSE.
With it, basic operation have been tested, both with
virtio-vdpa and vhost-vdpa using DPDK Vhost library series
adding VDUSE support using split rings layout (merged in
DPDK v23.07-rc1).

Control queue support (and so multiqueue) has also been
tested, but requires a Kernel series from Jason Wang
relaxing control queue polling [1] to function reliably,
so while Jason rework is done, a patch is added to disable
CVQ and features that depend on it (tested also with DPDK
v23.07-rc1).

In this v5, LSM hooks introduced in previous revision are
unified into a single hook that covers below operations:
- VDUSE_CREATE_DEV ioctl on VDUSE control file,
- VDUSE_DESTROY_DEV ioctl on VDUSE control file,
- open() on VDUSE device file.

In combination with the operations permission, a device type
permission has to be associated:
- block: Virtio block device type,
- net: Virtio networking device type.

changes in v6!
==============
- Remove SELinux support from the series, will be handled
  in a dedicated one.
- Require CAP_NET_ADMIN for Net devices creation (Jason).
- Fail init if control queue features are requested for
  Net device type (Jason).
- Rebased on latest master.

Changes in v5:
==============
- Move control queue disablement patch before Net
  devices enablement (Jason).
- Unify operations LSM hooks into a single hook.
- Rebase on latest master.

Maxime Coquelin (3):
  vduse: validate block features only with block devices
  vduse: Temporarily fail if control queue features requested
  vduse: enable Virtio-net device type
