Subject: [PATCH] net/failsafe: fix adding MAC error report miss

[ upstream commit ae7cb246d159eb9eb67d931267dc0d399864ab26 ]

The corrupted code don't reply error in case of MAC
address adding failure while failsafe PMD was trying
to apply configuration to the sub device.

Hence, the application may get unwanted packets.

The fix adds error report for this case.

Fixes: ebea83f899d8 ("net/failsafe: add plug-in support")
