iavf: allow permanent MAC address to change
Allow the VF to override the "permanent" MAC address set by the host. This allows bonding to work in the case where the administrator has set the VF MAC. Note that the VF must still be set to Trusted on the host if this change is to be accepted by the PF driver.
