[ Upstream commit ce572a5b88d5ca6737b5e23da9892792fd708ad3 ]
VF was not able to change its hardware MAC address in case
the new address was already present in the MAC filter list.
Change the handling of VF add mac request to not return
if requested MAC address is already present on the list
and check if its hardware MAC needs to be updated in this case.
Fixes: ed4c068d46f6 ("ice: Enable ip link show on the PF to display VF unicast MAC(s)")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
