> 
> This patch introduces a spinlock which is to be used for synchronizing access
> to VSI's MAC filter list.
> 
> This patch also synchronizes execution of other codepaths which are
> accessing VSI's MAC filter list with execution of service_task:sync_vsi_filters.
> 
> In function i40e_add_vsi, copied out LAA MAC address instead of cloning
> MAC filter entry because only MAC address is needed to remove MAC VLAN
> filter from FW/HW.
