Previously, mac_own was a bit-field indicating the MAC addresses owned by
the PMD, specifically marking those added to VFs by the PMD and allowing
them to be flushed during exit.

With this commit, the bit-field now applies to all MAC addresses added by
the PMD, including those for PF, VF, and SFs. The process for flushing MAC
addresses added to VFs by the PMD remains unchanged.

To be clear, there is no behaviour change in this patch?

You should mention the goal of this patch (preparation of a fix for multicast).
