[PATCH qemu-server] migration: print netdevice: only warn about missing host_mtu setting when unexpected

[Fiona Ebner]

When the machine version is less than 10.0+pve1 and the MTU is 1500,
not having the host_mtu parameter is fully expected. Only log when the
missing host_mtu setting is not expected to avoid confusion. Reported
in the community forum [0].
