Due to architecture limitations, the IBM VNIC client driver is unable
to perform MAC address changes unless the device has "logged in" to
its backing device. Currently, pending MAC changes are handled before
login, resulting in an error and failure to change the MAC address.
Moving that chunk to the end of the ibmvnic_login function, when we are
sure that it was successful, fixes that.
The MAC address can be changed when the device is up or down, so
only check if the device is in a "PROBED" state before setting the
MAC address.
Fixes:

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
