There are some issues in macvlan wrt to changing it's mac address.
* An error is returned in the specified address is the same as an already
assigned address.
* In passthru mode, the mac address of the macvlan device doesn't change.
* After changing the mac address of a passthru macvlan and then removing it,
the mac address of the physical device remains changed.
This patch series attempts to resolve these issues.
Thanks
