From: Noa Osherovich <noaos@mellanox.com>

When modifying dev->dev_addr by external kernel code (e.g. bonding
driver in ALB mode) The following issue may raise:
1) Kernel module updates dev->addr to a new MAC address
2) mlx4_en_do_set_rx_mode workqueue runs which calls -
   mlx4_en_do_uc_filter. mlx4_en_do_uc_filter goes through the mac_hash
   and removes the previous MAC address from the mac_hash.
3) Then mlx4_en_set_mac runs and calls mlx4_en_replace_mac in order to
   replace previous mac with the new one, but since the mac_hash does
   not contains the entry related to the prev_mac this operation fail.

The solution is to use a private variable to store and compare current
MAC address as dev->dev_addr can be accessed directly by any other
kernel code. This way a direct access to dev->dev_addr would not result
in mac_hash database inconsistency.
- priv->prev_mac was renamed to priv->current_mac.
- comparison in mlx4_en_do_uc_filter is to current_mac instead
  of dev->dev_addr.
- added a new_mac parameter to mlx4_en_do_set_mac, and use it when
  when updating mac_hash database.
