[libvirt] [PATCH 3/3] qemu: set tap device online for type='ethernet'

[Laine Stump]

When support for auto-creating tap devices was added to <interface
type='ethernet'> in commit 9717d6, the code assumed that
virNetDevTapCreate() would honor the *_CREATE_IFUP flag that is
supported by virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort(). That isn't the case -
the latter function performs several operations, and one of them is
setting the tap device online. But virNetDevTapCreate() *only* creates
the tap device, and relies on the caller to do everything else, so
qemuInterfaceEthernetConnect() needs to call virNetDevSetOnline()
after the device is successfully created.
