bnxt_en: Fixed incorrect implementation of ndo_set_mac_address
The existing ndo_set_mac_address only copies the new MAC addr and didn't set the new MAC addr to the HW. The correct way is to delete the existing default MAC filter from HW and add the new one. Because of RFS filters are also dependent on the default mac filter l2 context, the driver must go thru close_nic() to delete the default MAC and RFS filters, then open_nic() to set the default MAC address to HW.
