Goal

Starting from Win11 the 3 rd party VF may support poll mode as a default mode, then the VF driver may not indicate RX packets and TX completions expecting them to be retrieved by polling threads.

Starting from 2025 - the default mode of netkvm will be poll mode

The goal is to make SRIOV failover compatible with these changes

There are 2 changes in general:

1. Protocol service - fix comparison of netkvmp executables
2. Driver: disable poll mode in case of failover

Acceptance Criteria

Functionality of failover on 2025 server, Win11-23H2 and Win11-24H2

see https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-31482 for acceptance

If the virtio-net device is failover device, the printout "Poll mode tried and enabled" should never appear regardless number of CPUs/queues/registry setting.
