    net/cnxk: fix invalid MAC address

    When user requests to configure a device which is already in
    configured state then first device gets resets to default and
    then reconfigured with latest parameters.

    While resetting the device, MAC address table is left stale which
    causes entry update in later state.

    Hence marking the MAC address entries as invalid to avoid any error
    due to further operation on MAC table.

    Fixes: b75e0aca84b0 ("net/cnxk: add device configuration operation")
