i40evf: Change a VF mac without reloading the VF driver
Add possibility to change a VF mac address from host side without reloading the VF driver on the guest side. Without this patch it is not possible to change the VF mac because executing i40evf_virtchnl_completion function with VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_VF_RESOURCES opcode resets the VF mac address to previous value.
