This err cannot be reused.
When performing mac address addition, the testpmd side will first add the mac
address to mac_pool.
When the driver layer returns that it failed to add an address, the tespmd
layer will delete the failed address from mac_pool.
If err is reused, the successful result of executing the add back address will
overwrite the previous err, causing problems with the address stored in
mac_pool on the testpmd side.
