macvlan: better mode validation
macvlan passthrough mode is special: it's not possible to switch to or from it through a netlink command. But if you try, the command will succeed, which is confusing. Validate input and return error to user. Cc: Sridhar Samudrala <sri@us.ibm.com> Cc: "David S. Miller" <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
