net/bonding: fix MAC address propagation in 802.3ad mode

When changing the MAC address of a bonding device in 802.3ad mode,
the new MAC was not propagated to the physical member NIC.
This caused the physical NIC to drop all data packets sent to the
new MAC address, resulting in connectivity loss.

It happens because the MAC update function only updated the
LACP layer (actor.system) but not the physical NIC hardware MAC
addresses.

This fix adds a call to rte_eth_dev_default_mac_addr_set() to update
the hardware MAC on each member port.
