[PATCH 4.14 023/267] cxgb4vf: fix memleak in mac_hlist initialization

[ Upstream commit 24357e06ba511ad874d664d39475dbb01c1ca450 ]

mac_hlist was initialized during adapter_up, which will be called
every time a vf device is first brought up, or every time when device
is brought up again after bringing all devices down. This means our
state of previous list is lost, causing a memleak if entries are
present in the list. To fix that, move list init to the condition
that performs initial one time adapter setup.
