Subject: [PATCH] net: Reinstate '-net nic, model=help' output as documented in
 man page

While refactoring the NIC initialization code, I broke '-net nic,model=help'
which no longer outputs a list of available NIC models.

Fixes: 2cdeca04adab ("net: report list of available models according to platform")
