According to VirtIO standard, "The class, command and
command-specific-data are set by the driver,
and the device sets the ack byte.
There is little it can do except issue a diagnostic
if ack is not VIRTIO_NET_OK."

Therefore, QEMU should stop sending the queued SVQ commands and
cancel the device startup if the device's ack is not VIRTIO_NET_OK.

Yet the problem is that, vhost_vdpa_net_load_mac() returns 1 based on
`*s->status != VIRTIO_NET_OK` when the device's ack is VIRTIO_NET_ERR.
As a result, net->nc->info->load() also returns 1, this makes
vhost_net_start_one() incorrectly assume the device state is
successfully loaded by vhost_vdpa_net_load() and return 0, instead of
goto `fail` label to cancel the device startup, as vhost_net_start_one()
only cancels the device startup when net->nc->info->load() returns a
negative value.

This patch fixes this problem by returning -EIO when the device's
ack is not VIRTIO_NET_OK.
