      Description of problem:
      update interface with passt backend by update-device report successfully, but no changes for passt related parameters

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      libvirt-9.0.0-4.el9.x86_64
      passt-0^20221110.g4129764-1.el9.x86_64
      qemu-kvm-7.2.0-8.el9.x86_64

      How reproducible:
      100%

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Start a vm with interface as below:
      $ virsh dumpxml test --xpath //interface
      <interface type="user">
      <mac address="52:54:00:bc:fa:5e"/>
      <source dev="eno1"/>
      <ip address="172.17.2.4" family="ipv4" prefix="24"/>
      <ip address="2001:db8:ac10:fd01::20" family="ipv6"/>
      <model type="virtio"/>
      <backend type="passt" logFile="/home/test/passt.log"/>
      <alias name="net0"/>
      <address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x08" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>
      </interface>

      2. Try to update the interface by update-device to add the port forwarding setting:
      $ cat interface.xml
      <interface type="user">
      <mac address="52:54:00:bc:fa:5e"/>
      <source dev="eno1"/>
      <ip address="172.17.2.4" family="ipv4" prefix="24"/>
      <ip address="2001:db8:ac10:fd01::20" family="ipv6"/>
      <model type="virtio"/>
      <portForward proto="tcp">
      <range start="31339" to="41339"/>
      </portForward>
      <backend type="passt" logFile="/home/test/passt.log"/>
      <alias name="net0"/>
      <address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x08" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>
      </interface>

      $ virsh update-device test interface.xml
      Device updated successfully

      3. check the live xml, there is no changes
      $ virsh dumpxml test --xpath //interface
      <interface type="user">
      <mac address="52:54:00:bc:fa:5e"/>
      <source dev="eno1"/>
      <ip address="172.17.2.4" family="ipv4" prefix="24"/>
      <ip address="2001:db8:ac10:fd01::20" family="ipv6"/>
      <model type="virtio"/>
      <backend type="passt" logFile="/home/test/passt.log"/>
      <alias name="net0"/>
      <address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x08" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>
      </interface>

      Actual results:
      update-device report succeed, but there is no changes

      Expected results:
      The passt related parameters may not support update on the fly, so the live update should fail.

      Additional info:
      live update to update the link state for passt backend interface succeed and network work properly
