macvlan: Let passthru macvlan correctly restore lower mac address
Passthru macvlans directly change the mac address of the lower level device. That's OK, but after the macvlan is deleted, the lower device is left with changed address and one needs to reboot to bring back the origina HW addresses. This scenario is actually quite common with passthru macvtap devices. This patch attempts to solve this, by storing the mac address of the lower device in macvlan_port structure and keeping track of it through the changes. After this patch, any changes to the lower device mac address done trough the macvlan device, will be reverted back. Any changs done directly to the lower device mac address will be kept.
