> MAC
> 
> Currently, when setting a VF MAC address there are no error checks to
> ensure that the MAC filter was successfully added.  This patch adds additional
> error checks, reporting, and propagation of errors.  It also will not set the
> MAC address unless adding the MAC filter was successful.
> 
> With these changes, setting the mac address to zeros can no longer call
> ixgbe_set_vf_mac() as adding a zero MAC address filter is not valid.
> Instead directly delete the filter and, if successful, clear the MAC address.
