qemu makes it possible to disable link at tap which is not communicated to the guest but causes all packets to be dropped. Handle this with vhost simply by moving to the userspace emulation. Note: it might be a good idea to make peer link status match tap in this case, so the guest gets an event and updates the carrier state. For now stay bug for bug compatible with what we used to have.
