Subject: [PATCH v3] ibmveth: Add function to enable live MAC address changes

Add a function that will enable changing the MAC address
of an ibmveth interface while it is still running.

   removed text wrapping in error message
v2:
   If h_change_logical_lan_mac fails, dev->dev_addr will not be changed.
