From: Eric K <erickra@cs.utexas.edu>

This patch removes the `*be_opened = false` override for the UDP chardev
backend. Since UDP is connectionless it never sends a `CHR_EVENT_OPENED`
so it is never marked open. This causes some frontends (e.g. virtio-serial)
to never perform any operations on the socket.
