4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
[ Upstream commit 7cd8eb0861981ad212ce4242a1870c4b5831ceff ]
The i40e driver complains about unprivileged VFs trying to configure
promiscuous mode each time a VF reset occurs. This isn't the fault of
the poor VF driver - the PF driver itself is making the request.
To fix this, skip the privilege check if the request is to disable all
promiscuous activity. This gets rid of the bogus message, but doesn't
affect privilege checks, since we really only care if the unprivileged
VF is trying to enable promiscuous mode.
