i40e: restore workaround for removing default MAC filter

[Markus Schade]

Ubuntu Bionic kernel (4.15.0-23) lacks upstream patch for i40e which results in forced promiscous mode when adding a vlan.

Are you sure you posted the correct commit? The commit in the bug description has been in mainline as of v4.10-rc1, so it has always been in bionic as:

[Markus Schade (lp-markusschade)]

Apparently not, but this was the only mentioning of this bug and the it can be reproduced just the same way (bonding + vlan)

But after trying the mainline 4.18rc2 kernel, the bug is still present their. So it needs to be fixed upstream first (again).
