ixgbe: UTA table incorrectly programmed
The UTA table was being set to the functional equivalent of promiscuous mode. This was resulting in traffic from the virtual function being flooded onto the wire and the PF device. This resulted in additional overhead for VF traffic sent to the network and in the case of traffic sent to the PF or another VF resulted in unwanted packets on the wire. This was actually not the intended behavior. Now that we can program the embedded switch correctly we can remove this snippit of code. Users who want to support this should configure the FDB correctly using the FDB ops.
