CVE-2024-26830: i40e: Do not allow untrusted VF to remove administratively set MAC

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

i40e: Do not allow untrusted VF to remove administratively set MAC

Currently when PF administratively sets VF's MAC address and the VF
is put down (VF tries to delete all MACs) then the MAC is removed
from MAC filters and primary VF MAC is zeroed.

Do not allow untrusted VF to remove primary MAC when it was set
administratively by PF.

Reproducer:
1) Create VF
2) Set VF interface up
3) Administratively set the VF's MAC
4) Put VF interface down

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
