[Intel-wired-lan] [next PATCH S59 5/6] i40e: Allow untrusted VFs to have more filters

[Bimmy Pujari]

From: Mitch Williams <mitch.a.williams at intel.com>

Our original filter limit of 8 was based on behavior that we saw from
Linux VMs. Now we're running Other Operating Systems under KVM and we
see that they commonly use more MAC filters. Since it seems weird to
require people to enable trusted VFs just to boot their OS, bump the
number of filters allowed by default.

Testing Hints : Boot Windows Server 2016 in a VM and
make sure the host doesn't complain about untrusted VFs.
