Add logic in mlx5_vdpa_set_attr() to ensure the VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC
feature bit is properly set only when the device is not yet in
the DRIVER_OK (running) state.
This makes the MAC address visible in the output of:
vdpa dev config show -jp
when the device is created without an initial MAC address.

Factor out MAC address update logic and reuse it from handle_ctrl_mac().
This ensures that old MAC entries are removed from the MPFS table
before adding a new one and that the forwarding rules are updated
accordingly. If updating the flow table fails, the original MAC and
rules are restored as much as possible to keep the software and
hardware state consistent.

Improve MAC address handling in mlx5_vdpa_set_attr() to ensure that
old MAC entries are properly removed from the MPFS table before
adding a new one. The new MAC address is then added to both the MPFS
and VLAN tables.
This change fixes an issue where the updated MAC address would not
take effect until QEMU was rebooted.
