PATCH 1/1 igbvf: Allow VF driver to correctly recognize failure to set mac

From: Alexander Duyck <[email protected]>

The VF driver was not correctly recognizing that it did not correctly set it's mac address. As a result the VF driver was unable to receive network traffic until being unloaded and reloaded. The issue was root caused to the fact that the CTS bit was not taken into account when checking for the request being NAKed.

Applied, thanks.
