Thanks for your reminder.

Yes, we need to include all filters that are used in receive_filter().
It contains main-mac, rx-mode items(mac-table, promisc, unit/multi/broadcast
flags), vlan-table.

It's not good to return all(128) entries of vlan-table to monitor client,
and management only use QMP to query info, so I will drop HMP command.
