net/i40e: fix setting of MAC address on i40evf

When setting the MAC address, the ethdev layer copies the new mac
address in dev->data->mac_addrs[0] before calling the dev_ops.

Therefore, "is_same_ether_addr(mac_addr, dev->data->mac_addrs)" was
always true, and the MAC was never set. Remove this test to fix the
issue.
