Add max_supported_vqs field to struct vdpa_mgmt_dev. Upstream drivers
need to feel this value according to the device capabilities.

This value is reported back in a netlink message when showing
management devices.

Example:

$ vdpa dev show

s/dev/mgmtdev/

and,

quoted

vdpa mgmtdev show

remove this line.

quoted

auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.1:
   supported_classes net
   max_supported_vqs 256

It should be in same line.
Also please show the JSON output.

Not consistent with the example in patch #11 in the series.

It still needs a default value when the field is not explicitly filled in by the
driver.

Unlikely. This can be optional field to help user decide device max limit.
When max_supported_vqs is set to zero. Vdpa should omit exposing it to user space.

This breaks the natural alignment and create holes in the struct.
Please move it at the last entry in the struct after list.

There has been some talk/patches of rdma virtio device.
I anticipate such device to support more than 64K queues by nature of rdma.
It is better to keep max_supported_vqs as u32.
