bnxt_en: Call firmware to approve the random VF MAC address. After generating the random MAC address for VF, call the firmware to approve it. This step serves 2 purposes. Some hypervisor (e.g. ESX) wants to approve the MAC address. 2nd, the call will setup the proper forwarding database in the internal switch. We need to unlock the hwrm_cmd_lock mutex before calling bnxt_approve_mac(). We can do that because we are at the end of the function and all the previous firmware response data has been copied.
