tap: introduce a helper to get the name of an interface
This patch introduces a helper tap_get_ifname() to get the device name of tap device. This is needed when ifname is unspecified in the command line and qemu were asked to create tap device by itself. In this situation, the name were allocated by kernel, so if multiqueue is asked, we need to fetch its name after creating the first queue. Only linux has this support since it's the only platform that supports multiqueue tap. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
