4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Emil Tantilov <emil.s.tanti...@intel.com>
[ Upstream commit 6e7d0ba1e59b1a306761a731e67634c0f2efea2a ]
Set hw->mac.perm_addr in ixgbevf_set_mac() in order to avoid losing the
custom MAC on reset. This can happen in the following case:
>ip link set $vf address $mac
>ethtool -r $vf
