Subject: macvlan: Do not return error when setting the same mac address
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e26f43faa0d79dd06e9e94829696b68b9940c2ee;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

macvlan: Do not return error when setting the same mac address

The user currently gets an EBUSY error when attempting to set
the mac address on a macvlan device to the same value.

This should really be a no-op as nothing changes.  Catch
the condition and return early.
