[PATCH net-next] idpf: Slightly simplify memory management in idpf_add_del_mac_filters()

[Christophe JAILLET]

In idpf_add_del_mac_filters(), filters are chunked up into multiple
messages to avoid sending a control queue message buffer that is too large.

Each chunk has up to IDPF_NUM_FILTERS_PER_MSG entries. So except for the
last iteration which can be smaller, space for exactly
IDPF_NUM_FILTERS_PER_MSG entries is allocated.

There is no need to free and reallocate a smaller array just for the last
iteration.

This slightly simplifies the code and avoid an (unlikely) memory allocation
failure.
