Current ethdev always stores the MAC address even it fails to be added.
Other function may regard the failed MAC address valid and lead to
some errors. So There is a need to check if the addr is added
successfully or not and discard it if it fails.
In 3rd patch, add a command "add_more_mac_addr port_id base_mac_addr count"
to add more than one MAC address one time.
This command can simplify the test for the first patch.
Normally a MAC address may fails to be added only after many MAC
addresses have been added.
Without this command, a tester may only trigger failed MAC address
by running many times of testpmd command 'mac_addr add' .
