When support for auto-creating tap devices was added to <interface
type='ethernet'> in commit 9c17d6, the code assumed that
virNetDevTapCreate() would honor the VIR_NETDEV_TAP__CREATE_IFUP flag
that is supported by virNetDevTapCreateInBridgePort(). That isn't the
case - the latter function performs several operations, and one of
them is setting the tap device online. But virNetDevTapCreate() *only*
creates the tap device, and relies on the caller to do everything
else, so qemuInterfaceEthernetConnect() needs to call
virNetDevSetOnline() after the device is successfully created.
