[PATCH V5] ethdev: fix one address occupies two indexes in MAC addrs

The dev->data->mac_addrs[0] will be changed to a new MAC address when
applications modify the default MAC address by .mac_addr_set(). However,
if the new default one has been added as a non-default MAC address by
.mac_addr_add(), the .mac_addr_set() doesn't remove it from the mac_addrs
list. As a result, one MAC address occupies two indexes in the list. Like:
add(MAC1)
add(MAC2)
add(MAC3)
add(MAC4)
set_default(MAC3)
default=MAC3, filters=MAC1, MAC2, MAC3, MAC4

In addition, some PMDs, such as i40e, ice, hns3 and so on, do remove the
old default MAC when set default MAC. If user continues to do
set_default(MAC5), and the mac_addrs list is default=MAC5, filters=(MAC1,
MAC2, MAC3, MAC4). At this moment, user can still see MAC3 from the list,
but packets with MAC3 aren't actually received by the PMD.

So this patch adds a remove operation in set default MAC API documents
this behavior.

v5:
 - merge the second patch into the first patch.
 - add error log when rollback failed.

v4:
  - fix broken in the patchwork

v3:
  - first explicitly remove the non-default MAC, then set default one.
  - document default and non-default MAC address

v2:
  - fixed commit log.
