[ovs-dev] [PATCH] netdev-dpdk: fix MAC address in port addr example

The MAC address is always 6-bytes long, never 7. The extra :01 and :02
doesn't belong in there as it doesn't mean selecting one port or
another.

Instead, use an incrementing MAC address, which is what usually happens
on such cards.

 Note: such syntax won't support hotplug. The hotplug is supposed to work with
 future DPDK release, v18.05.
