[RFC PATCH for 8.1 4/6] vdpa: return errno in vhost_vdpa_get_vring_group error

[Eugenio Pérez]

We need to tell in the caller, as some errors are expected in a normal
workflow.  In particular, parent drivers in recent kernels with
VHOST_BACKEND_F_IOTLB_ASID may not support vring groups.  In that case,
-ENOTSUP is returned.

This is the case of vp_vdpa in Linux 6.2.

Next patches in this series will use that information to know if it must
abort or not.
