[PATCH 8/9] util: provide non-netlink/libnl alternative for virNetDevGetMaster()

[Laine Stump]

Lack of this one function (which is called for each active tap device
every time libvirtd is started) is the one thing preventing a
"WITHOUT_LIBNL" build of libvirt from being useful. With this
alternate implementation, guests using standard tap devices will work
properly.
