    e1000e: Failure to write SHRA turns on PROMISC mode · b3e5bf1f

    Previously, the check to turn on promiscuous mode only took into account
    the total number of SHared Receive Address (SHRA) registers and if the
    request was for a register within that range.  It is possible that the
    Management Engine might have locked a number of SHRA and not allowed a
    new address to be written to the requested register.
    
    Add a function to determine the number of unlocked SHRA registers.  Then
    determine if the number of registers available is sufficient for our needs,
    if not then return -ENOMEM so that UNICAST PROMISC mode is activated.
    
    Since the method by which ME claims SHRA registers is non-deterministic,
    also add a return value to the function attempting to write an address
    to a SHRA, and return a -E1000_ERR_CONFIG if the write fails.  The error
    will be passed up the function chain and allow the driver to also set
    UNICAST PROMISC when this happens.
