i40evf: don't blow away MAC address 

Under certain circumstances, we can get an extra VF_RESOURCES message
from the PF driver at runtime. When this happens, we need to parse it
because our VSI may have changed out from underneath us, and that will
affect our relationship with the PF driver.

However, parsing the resources message also blows away our current MAC
address in the hardware struct, usually with all zeros. When this
happens, the next time the interface is opened, it will have no MAC
address and will a) not work and b) complain.

Fix this issue by restoring the current MAC address from the netdev
struct after we parse the resource message.
