ethdev: fix adding invalid MAC address
Some customers find adding MAC addr to VF sometimes can fail,
but it is still stored in dev->data->mac_addrs[ ]. So this
can lead to some errors that assumes the non-zero entry in
dev->data->mac_addrs[ ] is valid.
Following acknowledgements are from specific NIC PMD
maintainer for their managing part.
This patch changes the ethdev internal API, it should not be
backported to a stable/LTS release so far.
