[ 099/102] net/mlx4_core: Dont give VFs MAC addresses which are derived from the PF MAC

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 0508ad646836007e6e6b62331eee7356844eac3d ]

If the user has not assigned a MAC address to a VM, then don't give it MAC which
is based on the PF one. The current derivation scheme is wrong and leads to VM
MAC collisions when the number of cards/hypervisors becomes big enough.

Instead, just give it zeros and let them figure out what to do with that.
