Currently if a unicast MAC is set via ndo_set_vf_mac, the PF driver will set the VF's dflt_lan_addr.addr once some basic checks have passed. The VF is then reset. During reset the PF driver will attempt to program the VF's MAC from the dflt_lan_addr.addr field. This fails when the MAC already exists on the PF's switch. This is causing the VF to be completely disabled until removing/enabling any VFs via sysfs. Fix this by checking if the unicast MAC exists before triggering a VF reset directly in ndo_set_vf_mac. Also, add a check if the unicast MAC is set to the same value as before and return 0 if that is the case.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
