Cover letter [PATCH 0/5] improve tap behavior

The tap does not behave properly in some cases.

It is generally expected that a real device should be available once the probing has been done.

It is also better to check if an operation (here, setting MAC) is mandatory before performing it. Typically in cases where the remote netdevice is a VF with limited capabilities.

This series ensures that the tap works more logically.

v2 changes:
- fix uninitialized fd variable

Pascal Mazon (5):
net/tap: add debug messages
net/tap: remove unnecessary functions
net/tap: drop unnecessary nested block
net/tap: create netdevice during probing
net/tap: do not set remote MAC if not necessary
