Subject: [net-next 11/13] i40e: don't add broadcast filter for VFs

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

Now that all VSIs are configured to receive broadcasts as default, we
don't need to add a filter. This eliminates an annoying but harmless
error message each time VFs are created or reset.
