virtio_net: notify MAC address change on device initialization

In virtnet_probe(), if the device doesn't provide a MAC address the
driver assigns a random one.
As we modify the MAC address we need to notify the device to allow it
to update all the related information.

The problem can be seen with vDPA and mlx5_vdpa driver as it doesn't
assign a MAC address by default. The virtio_net device uses a random
MAC address (we can see it with "ip link"), but we can't ping a net
namespace from another one using the virtio-vdpa device because the
new MAC address has not been provided to the hardware:
RX packets are dropped since they don't go through the receive filters,
TX packets go through unaffected.
