[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/ixgbe: fix setting VF MAC address

[Guinan Sun]

This problem occurs because clear_rar is executed at the wrong time,
 so PF cannot receive data normally.
This patch is used to modify the calling logic of clear_rar.

Fixes: 3c4270187518 ("net/ixgbe: support VF MAC address add/remove")
