ocelot: Dont allocate another multicast list, use __dev_mc_sync
Doing kmalloc in atomic context is always an issue, more so for a list that can grow significantly. Turns out that the driver only uses the duplicated list of multicast mac addresses to keep track of what addresses to delete from h/w before committing the new list from kernel to h/w back again via set_rx_mode, every time this list gets updated by the kernel. Given that the h/w knows how to add and delete mac addresses based on the mac address value alone, __dev_mc_sync should be the much better choice of kernel API for these operations avoiding the considerable overhead of maintaining a duplicated list in the driver.
