* virnetdev: Ignore EPERM on implicit clearing of VF VLAN ID
Libvirt will now ignore EPERM errors on attempts to implicitly clear a
VLAN ID (when a VLAN is not explicitly provided via an interface XML
using a 0 or a non-zero value) as SmartNIC DPUs do not expose VLAN
programming capabilities to the hypervisor host. This allows Libvirt
clients to avoid specifying a VLAN and expect VF configuration to work
since Libvirt tries to clear a VLAN in the same operation
as setting a MAC address for VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_HOSTDEV devices which
is now split into two distinct operations. EPERM errors received while
trying to program a non-zero VLAN ID or explicitly program a VLAN ID 0
will still cause errors as before so there is no change in behavior
in those cases.
