be2net: Fix broadcast echoes from EVB in BE3
On SR-IOV profiles, when the user connects a Linux Bridge or OVS to a BE3 vport, they suffer the "broadcast/multicast echo" problem. BE3 EVB echoes broadcast and multicast packets back to PF's vport confusing the Linux bridge. BE3 relies on the src-mac addr being programmed on the interface to avoid sending back an echo of a broadcast or multicast packet on a vPort. When a Linux bridge is connected to a BE3, the mac-addr of the VM behind the bridge doesn't get configured on the vPort and so echo cancellation doesn't work. This patch worksaround this problem by disabling the EVB initially and re-enabling it *only* when SR-IOV is enabled by the user. For the driver fix to work, the BE3 FW version must be >= 11.1.84.0.
