Subject: [net-next 2/5] i40e: allow zero MAC address for VFs

From: Mitch Williams <mitch.a.williams@...el.com>

Allow the user to specify a zero MAC address for VFs. This removes the
existing MAC address and allows the VF to use a random address. Libvirt
does this normally when removing a VF from a VM.
