Subject: ixgbe: Be more careful when modifying MAC filters
Patch-mainline: v4.18-rc6
Git-commit: d14c780c11fbc10f66c43e7b64eefe87ca442bd3
References: bsc#1051510 bsc#1113994 FATE#326315 FATE#326317
This change makes it so that we are much more explicit about the ordering
of updates to the receive address register (RAR) table. Prior to this patch
I believe we may have been updating the table while entries were still
active, or possibly allowing for reordering of things since we weren't
explicitly flushing writes to either the lower or upper portion of the
register prior to accessing the other half.
