[PATCH] vdpa/mlx5: Use random MAC address when no nic vport MAC set

[Dragos Tatulea]

When the vdpa device is configured without a specific MAC
address, the vport MAC address is used. However, this
address can be 0 which prevents the driver from properly
configuring the MPFS and breaks steering.

The solution is to simply generate a random MAC address
when no MAC is set on the nic vport.

Now it's possible to create a vdpa device without a
MAC address and run qemu with this device without needing
to configure an explicit MAC address.
