i40e: Add support for VF to specify its primary MAC address

Browse source

Currently in the i40e driver there is no implementation of different
MAC address handling depending on whether it is a legacy or primary.
Introduce new checks for VF to be able to specify its primary MAC
address based on the VIRTCHNL_ETHER_ADDR_PRIMARY type.

Primary MAC address are treated differently compared to legacy
ones in a scenario where:
1. If a unicast MAC is being added and it's specified as
VIRTCHNL_ETHER_ADDR_PRIMARY, then replace the current
default_lan_addr.addr.
2. If a unicast MAC is being deleted and it's type
is specified as VIRTCHNL_ETHER_ADDR_PRIMARY, then zero the
hw_lan_addr.addr.
