Subject: [PATCH] net/qede/base: fix return code to align with FW

[ upstream commit da4ff1c39854d1c2d922c4959aac1c6fd6c182b1 ]

This change aligns the PF behavior with that of the L2-fw, so that flows
(to remove an incorrect MAC) for PF and VF could remain the same.

Fixes: 86a2265e59d7 ("qede: add SRIOV support")
