> The sync_vsi_filters function is moved up in the service_task because it may
> need to request a reset, and we don't want to wait another round of service
> task time.
> 
> NOTE: Filters will be replayed by sync_vsi_filters including broadcast and
> promiscuous settings.
> 
> Also, added some error handling in this space in case any of these fail the
> driver will retry correctly.
> 
> Also update copyright year.

> add/remove, vlan add/remove, MAC address add/remove.  As much testing
