Rules for multicast MAC addresses are intended to filter multicast traffic
and are managed through multicast MAC add/remove APIs. In mlx5_dev_spawn
function, devices (PF, VFs, and SFs) retrieve the netdev-configured MAC
addresses via netlink and store them in the PMD device data, which
includes multicast MAC addresses.
Previously, flows for multicast MAC addresses were incorrectly disabled,
causing the multicast MAC add API to stop working. As a result, multicast
traffic directed to those multicast MAC addresses was not received.
To resolve this and update the multicast MAC address rules, create them
within mlx5_traffic_enable.
