Subject: [PATCH] i40e: improve VF MAC filters accounting

When adding new VM MAC, driver checks only *active* filters in
vsi->mac_filter_hash. Each MAC, even in non-active state is using resources.

To determine number of MACs VM uses, count VSI filters in *any* state.

Add i40e_count_all_filters() to simply count all filters, and rename
i40e_count_filters() to i40e_count_active_filters() to avoid ambiguity.

Fixes: cfb1d572c986 ("i40e: Add ensurance of MacVlan resources for every trusted VF")
