Subject: net: thunderx: rework mac addresses list to u64 array
Patch-mainline: v4.17-rc1
Git-commit: 9b5c4dfb2a6390bfb0166770d0d776ce0d3cdebd
References: bsc#1110096

It is too expensive to pass u64 values via linked list, instead
allocate array for them by overall number of mac addresses from netdev.

This eventually removes multiple kmalloc() calls, aviod memory
fragmentation and allow to put single null check on kmalloc
return value in order to prevent a potential null pointer dereference.

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1467429 ("Dereference null return value")
Fixes: 37c3347eb247 ("net: thunderx: add ndo_set_rx_mode callback implementation for VF")
