In trusted mode VFs should be able to override the administratively set MAC
address. This is currently not possible as i40evf returns -EPERM if an
administratively set MAC is present, for MAC change requests.
First patch renames vf_offload_flags to vf_cap_flags to make it more generic.
Second patch then adds a flag to vf_cap_flags to give the VF information on
whether it runs in trusted mode and makes use of the flag in i40evf.
Patches are against jkirshers dev-queue branch.

i40e/i40evf: rename vf_offload_flags to vf_cap_flags in struct
virtchnl_vf_resource
i40e/i40evf: add virtchnl flag to indicate trusted VF
