When using a VDPA device, it's important to ensure that the MAC
address is correctly set.
Add a new parameter in qemu cmdline to enable this check, default value
is false

The usage is:
....
-netdev type=vhost-vdpa,vhostdev=/dev/vhost-vdpa-0,id=vhost-vdpa0,check-mac=true\
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=vhost-vdpa0\
....
