4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
[ Upstream commit 158daed16efb1170694e420ae06ba8ba954d82e5 ]
A previous commit moved the ether_addr_copy() in i40e_set_mac() before the mac filter del/add to avoid a race. However it wasn't taken into account that this alters the mac address being handed to i40e_del_mac_filter().
Also changed i40e_add_mac_filter() to operate on netdev->dev_addr, hopefully that makes the code easier to read.
Fixes: 458867b2ca0c ("i40e: don't remove netdev->dev_addr when syncing uc list")
