Laurent Vivier says:

====================
virtio_net: vdpa: update MAC address when it is generated by virtio-net

When the MAC address is not provided by the vdpa device virtio_net
driver assigns a random one without notifying the device.
The consequence, in the case of mlx5_vdpa, is the internal routing
tables of the device are not updated and this can block the
communication between two namespaces.

To fix this problem, use virtnet_send_command(VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_MAC)
to set the address from virtnet_probe() when the MAC address is
not provided by the device.
