On port restart, all MAC addresses get pushed *twice* to the hardware, once by the driver and once by the eth_dev_mac_restore() in ethdev.On the other hand, MAC address filters are reset in the hardware by the PF only when a VF reset is triggered. Strictly speaking, the mac restore on port (re)start is unneeded, if no VF reset happened, so we can announce to ethdev that no mac restoration is needed via a get_restore_flags callback. Then, move the mac restoration to the VF reset handler.
