This patch extends the type check in iface_set_mac() to allow DPDK
interfaces. 

It provides the missing functionality to the following patch, to allow
setting MAC address on a DPDK interface:
"[ovs-dev,v2] netdev-dpdk: Add ability to set MAC address."
(https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1186896/)

This and the linked Ilya's patch together implement the following RFC
to enhance integration with cloud controllers (e.g. OpenStack):
"[ovs-dev] [RFC v2] netdev-dpdk: setting VF MAC address"
(https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2019-October/364063.html)
