Add netlink support to configure the max virtqueue pairs for a device.
At least one pair is required. The maximum is dictated by the device.

Example:

$ vdpa dev add name vdpa-a mgmtdev auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.1 max_vqp 5
Not this patch, but I think there should be a mega attribute defined
ahead to specify the virtio class/type to create vdpa instance with.
Like the existing ones e.g. mac_addr and mtu, max_vqp is also vdpa net
specific attribute.
Probably, but this only works for the case when a single parent is
allowed to create different types of devices. It looks to me the
current model to have a per type parent.
Yes, that is the current situation and implementation, although the model does allow multi-type parent through VDPA_ATTR_MGMTDEV_SUPPORTED_CLASSES.  Regardless, even though with single-type parent, so far on vdpa creation there's no validation done yet against which class/type the parent can support. The max-vqp is essentially vdpa network device only, but command line users don't have a means to infer it is structured this way, and/or which vdpa parent may support this config attribute. That said, were the command line usage structured like below, I would have less worry.

$ vdpa dev add name vdpa-a mgmtdev auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.1 net.max_vqp 5

Alternatively, if the goal is to keep the attribute flat, we may show the mapping for the parent capability and the supported class:

$ vdpa mgmtdev capab show
pci/0000:41:00.2:
  class: net
     mac: off
     mtu: on
     max_mtu: 9000
     max_vqp: 1
auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.1:
  class: net
     mac: on
     mtu: off
     max_mtu: 1500
     max_vqp: 256

v0 -> v1:
1. fix typo
2. move max_vq_pairs to net specific struct
