three drivers updated, but this can be used in many others.

v1->v2:

    when running
  virtio_net: use IFF_LIVE_ADDR_CHANGE priv_flag

[patch net-next v2 1/4] net: introduce new priv_flag indicating iface capable of change mac when running

[Jiri Pirko]

Introduce IFF_LIVE_ADDR_CHANGE priv_flag and use it to disable
netif_running() check in eth_mac_addr()
