Fix MAC setting flow for the PF driver.
Update the unicast VF's MAC address in VF structure if it is
a new setting in i40e_vc_add_mac_addr_msg.
When unicast MAC address gets deleted, record that and
set the new unicast MAC address that is already waiting in the filter
list. This logic is based on the order of messages arriving to
the PF driver.
Without this change the MAC address setting was interpreted
incorrectly in the following use cases:
1) Print incorrect VF MAC or zero MAC
ip link show dev $pf
2) Don't preserve MAC between driver reload
rmmod iavf; modprobe iavf
3) Update VF MAC when macvlan was set
ip link add link $vf address $mac $vf.1 type macvlan
4) Failed to update mac address when VF was trusted
ip link set dev $vf address $mac
This includes all other configurations including above commands.

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.
