vhost-vdpa IOCTLs (eg. VHOST_GET_VRING_BASE, VHOST_SET_VRING_BASE)
don't support packed virtqueue well yet, so let's filter the
VIRTIO_F_RING_PACKED feature for now in vhost_vdpa_get_features().
This way, even if the device supports it, we don't risk it being
negotiated, then the VMM is unable to set the vring state properly.

Notes:
This patch should be applied before the "[PATCH v2 0/3] vhost_vdpa:
better PACKED support" series [1] and backported in stable branches.
We can revert it when we are sure that everything is working with
packed virtqueues.
Thanks,
Stefano
