i40e: fix disable overflow promiscuous mode
There exists a bug in which the driver is unable to exit overflow promiscuous mode after having added "too many" mac filters. It is expected that after triggering overflow promiscuous, removing the failed/extra filters should then disable overflow promiscuous mode. The bug exists because we were intentionally skipping the sync_vsi_filter path in cases where we were removing failed filters since they shouldn't have been added to the firmware in the first place, however we still need to go through the sync_vsi_filter code path to determine whether or not it is ok to exit overflow promiscuous mode. This patch fixes the bug by making sure we go through the sync_vsi_filter path in cases of failed filters.
