For server mode, the below code is called by virtio_user_start_device(),
instead of virtio_user_dev_init(). Only client mode virtio-user
needs to call it when init.

Thanks, change in the next patch.

The server mode virtio-user is assigned the default features, which include
VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC. So checking if support VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC is only necessary
for client mode.
