The second part of my patch series to fix the handling of addr_assign_type for random MAC addresses. This contains the trival changes from random_ether_addr() to new eth_hw_addr_random() and code to reset the state to NET_ADDR_PERM as soon as the MAC get changed via .ndo_set_mac_address where eth_mac_addr wasn't used. Resend due to send with too long recipients list. Sorry! Thanks to Joe Perches for the hint. Danny Kukawka (2): net: replace random_ether_addr() with eth_...

When the MAC address is not provided by the vdpa device virtio_net driver assigns a random one without notifying the device. The consequence, in the case of mlx5_vdpa, is the internal routing tables of the device are not updated and this can block the communication between two namespaces. To fix this problem, use virtnet_send_command(VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_MAC) to set the address from virtnet_probe()
