The bug usually affects untrusted VFs, because they are limited to 18MACs,
it affects them badly, not letting to create MAC all filters.
Not stable to reproduce, it happens when VF user creates MAC filters
when other MACVLAN operations are happened in parallel.
But consequence is that VF can't receive desired traffic.

Fix counter to be bumped only for new or active filters.
