Description of problem:
On latest RHEL 9.3, with SR-IOV enabled, the VF card is assigned a link-local IPv6 address. This happens on both ARM and x86_64 systems.

100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
Actual results:
VF card is assigned an IPv6 address.
Expected results:
No IP addresses should be assigned to VF card.
Additional info:
1. We had a similar issue - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2057263.
Only this time IPv4 address does not exist. Udev rule is still in place.
2. Latest RHEL 8.9 does not have this issue.
