net/mlx4_core: Don't give VFs MAC addresses which are derived from the PF MAC
[ Upstream commit 0508ad646836007e6e6b62331eee7356844eac3d ] If the user has not assigned a MAC address to a VM, then don't give it MAC which is based on the PF one. The current derivation scheme is wrong and leads to VM MAC collisions when the number of cards/hypervisors becomes big enough. Instead, just give it zeros and let them figure out what to do with that. Signed-off-by: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
