ice: Fix VSIs unable to share unicast MAC
The driver currently does not allow two VSIs in the same PF domain to have the same unicast MAC address. This is incorrect in the sense that a policy decision is being made in the driver when it must be left to the user. This approach was causing issues when rebooting the system with VFs spawned not being able to change their MAC addresses. Such errors were present in dmesg: [ 7921.068237] ice 0000:b6:00.2 ens2f2: Unicast MAC 6a:0d:e4:70:ca:d1 already exists on this PF. Preventing setting VF 7 unicast MAC address to 6a:0d:e4:70:ca:d1 Fix that by removing this restriction. Doing this also allows us to remove some additional code that's checking if a unicast MAC filter already exists.
