Subject: [PATCH-for-6.0] net: tap: fix crash on hotplug
Attempting to hotplug a tap nic with libvirt will crash qemu:
$ sudo virsh attach-interface f32 network default
error: Failed to attach interface
error: Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer
0x000055875b7f3a99 in tap_send (opaque=0x55875e39eae0) at ../net/tap.c:206
206 if (!s->nc.peer->do_not_pad) {
gdb$ bt
s->nc.peer may not be set at this point. This seems to be an
expected case, as qemu_send_packet_* explicitly checks for NULL
s->nc.peer later.
Fix it by checking for s->nc.peer here too. Padding is applied if
s->nc.peer is not set.

* Or should we skip padding if nc.peer is unset? I didn't dig into it
* tap-win3.c and slirp.c may need a similar fix, but the slirp case
didn't crash in a simple test.
