i40evf: Change a VF mac without reloading the VF driver

Browse Source 
Add possibility to change a VF mac address from host side
without reloading the VF driver on the guest side. Without
this patch it is not possible to change the VF mac because
executing i40evf_virtchnl_completion function with
VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_VF_RESOURCES opcode resets the VF mac
address to previous value.
