net/mlx4_en: Fix bridged vSwitch configuration for non SRIOV mode
[ Upstream commit 213815a1e6ae70b9648483b110bc5081795f99e8 ] Commit 5b4c4d36860e "mlx4_en: Allow communication between functions on same host" introduced a regression under which a bridge acting as vSwitch whose uplink is an mlx4 Ethernet device become non-operative in native (non sriov) mode. This happens since broadcast ARP requests sent by VMs were loopback-ed by the HW and hence the bridge learned VM source MACs on both the VM and the uplink ports. The fix is to place the DMAC in the send WQE only under SRIOV/eSwitch configuration or when the device is in selftest.
