Subject: [PATCH 2/2] i40e/i40evf: add virtchnl flag to indicate trusted VF

Give the VF a hint whether it runs in trusted mode or not. This allows
the VF to decide if it should allow changing the MAC address.
Currently the VF returns -EPERM in i40evf_set_mac when an
administratively set MAC has been set. However this prevents overriding
the administratively set MAC in trusted mode. Simply removing the EPERM
check is not an option, as that would bring the VF in an inconsistent
state when the PF decides to deny adding the appropriate filter.

Due to the fact that the communication between PF and VF is async the VF
driver cannot decide whether to deny or allow a MAC address change
without the VF trust hint.
