[PATCH] net/iavf: fix mac address with i40e PF Linux driver

[David Marchand]

Following an upstream Linux kernel change (see link), the mac address of
a iavf port, serviced by a i40e PF driver, is reset to 0 during the
VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_VF_RESOURCES query.

The DPDK iavf driver then assigns a new random mac address.

Such sequence is triggered every time the VF is initialised which means
that, from a DPDK application point of view, the mac address gets changed
for every VF reset event. And obviously, two runs of a DPDK application
get a different mac address.

The i40e PF driver change is pretty obscure but the iavf Linux driver does
set VIRTCHNL_VF_OFFLOAD_USO.
Announcing such a capability in the DPDK driver does not seem to be an
issue, so do the same in DPDK to keep the legacy behavior of a fixed mac.
