be2net: Avoid unnecessary firmware updates of multicast list Eachtime the ndo_set_rx_mode() routine is called, the driver programs the multicast list in the adapter without checking if there are any changes to the list. This leads to a flood of RX_FILTER cmds when a number of vlan interfaces are configured over the device, as the ndo_ gets called for each vlan interface. To avoid this, we now use __dev_mc_sync() and __dev_uc_sync() API, but only to detect if there is a change in the mc/uc lists. Now that we use this API, the code has to be-designed to issue these API calls for each invocation of the be_set_rx_mode() call.
