Subject: [net-next PATCH 21/26] igb: remove disable_av variable from mac_info
	struct

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@...el.com>

The disable_av variable is never used by the driver and provides no value as
it is likely a leftover debugging variable.  I have removed it and replaced
the one spot that checked for it with a check for a valid address.
