[PATCH v1] virtio-network: Avoid confusion between a card and a device

[Parav Pandit <parav@nvidia.com>]

Ethernet card is a relatively vague term in context of virtio network
device specification. A Ethernet card in the industry has one to
multiple ports, one to multiple PCI functions.

Historically virtio network device is documented as a Ethernet card.
However it is usually just a single virtual Ethernet device.

Hence, avoid this confusing term 'card' and align the specification
to adhere to widely used specification term as 'device' used for all
virtio device types.

This patch is on top of change [1].
