When SRIOV is enabled, if we create macvlan on PF and load the VF driver in host 
domain, when macvlan/PF and VF interfaces are all up, the macvlan incoming network
traffics are directed to VF interface not PF interface. This patch has fixed this
issue.

To produce this problem:

1. modprobe ixgbe max_vfs=2 
   eth4 is PF, eth5 is VF
2. ip link set eth4 up
3. ip link add link eth4 address 54:52:00:35:e3:20 macvlan2 type macvlan
4. ip addr add 192.168.7.74/24 dev macvlan2
5. ping macvlan2 from remote host, works
6. ip link set eth5 up
7. ping macvlan2 from remote host failed.

Based on my understanding, the problem is:
1. PF set_rar use rar index is 0, and vmdq index is adapter->num_vfs, 
2. when macvlan2 is created, rar index is based rar_used_count, which
would be 1.
3. later when VF is up, the rar index is vf+1, and vmdq index is vf, so
VF0 will overwrite macvlan2 rar entry.

The fix here:
1. make sure PF uses vmdq index = adapter->num_vfs during
initialization, reset.
2. reserve rar index for all VFs from 1 to num_vfs + 1.


Please let me know whether my understanding is correct or not.

Thanks
Shirley

Yes, that appears to be correct.

We'll test your patch but I think you're on the right track.
