[PATCH 2/3] virNetDevSwitchdevFeature: Make failure to get 'family_id' non-fatal

I've just got a new machine and I'm still converging on the
kernel config. Anyway, since I don't have enabled any of SRIO-V
drivers, my kernel doesn't have NET_DEVLINK enabled (i.e.
virNetDevGetFamilyId() returns 0). But this makes nodedev driver
ignore all intefaces, because when enumerating all devices via
udev, the control reaches virNetDevSwitchdevFeature() eventually
and subsequently virNetDevGetFamilyId() which 'fails'. Well, it's
not really a failure - the virNetDevSwitchdevFeature() stub
simply returns 0.

Also, move the call a few lines below, just around the place
where it's needed.
