[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] i40e: fix i40e_validate_mac_addr to permit multicast addresses

The i40e maintains a single MAC filter table for both
unicast and multicast addresses. The i40e_validate_mac_addr
function was preventing multicast addresses from being added
to the table via i40evf_add_mac_addr. Fixed the issue by
removing the multicast address check in i40e_validate_mac_addr.
