I don't know how this MAC pool works in which driver.
However, the 'eth_dev_mac_restore' API show that 1) the default MAC has 
only pool zero
if set it by the 'mac_addr_add', 2) the default one hasn't pool 
information if set it
by 'default_mac_addr_set'.

Do you mean we should inherit its pool mask in this case?

It doesn't feel necessary. It may trigger the printing of a large number 
of error logs
in abnormal scenarios.
