The dev->data->mac_addrs[0] will be changed to a new MAC address when
applications modify the default MAC address by
rte_eth_dev_default_mac_addr_set(). However, if the new default one has
been added as a non-default MAC address by rte_eth_dev_mac_addr_add(), the
the rte_eth_dev_default_mac_addr_set() doesn't remove it from the mac_addrs
list. As a result, one MAC address occupies two indexes in the list. Like:
add(MAC1)
add(MAC2)
add(MAC3)
add(MAC4)
set_default(MAC3)
default=MAC3, filters=MAC1, MAC2, MAC3, MAC4

In addition, some PMDs, such as i40e, ice, hns3 and so on, do remove the
old default MAC when set default MAC. If user continues to do
set_default(MAC5), and the mac_addrs list is default=MAC5, filters=(MAC1,
MAC2, MAC3, MAC4). At this moment, user can still view MAC3 from the list,
but packets with MAC3 aren't actually received by the PMD.

IMHO, the main problem is inconsistency which exists right now.
rte_eth_dev_mac_addr_add() checks for duplicate MAC addition
including the default one (index zero) and extends the entry
pool mask (including zero entry case).

However, the patch above does not extend zero entry pool mask.
So, the result will depend on order which is bad:
A. Set default to A, add MAC A with pool 2 => pool mask has 2
B. Add MAC A with pool 2, set default to A => pool mask is empty

Am I missing something in the code?
What is the right/intended behaviour?
