Subject: [PATCH] net/i40e: fix setting of MAC address on i40evf

[ upstream commit b8a0cebddac88c784c9d2b71481ba358b401cccf ]

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.

Fixes: 943c2d899a0c ("net/i40e: set VF MAC from VF")
