When spawning VFs in switchdev mode, internal filter list of VSIs is
cleared, which includes MAC rules. However MAC entries stay on netdev's
multicast list, which causes error message when bringing link up after
spawning VFs ("Failed to delete MAC filters"). __dev_mc_sync() is
called and tries to unsync addresses that were already removed
internally when adding VFs.
This can be reproduced with:
1) Load ice driver
2) Change PF to switchdev mode
3) Bring PF link up
4) Bring PF link down
5) Create a VF on PF
6) Bring PF link up
Added clearing of netdev's multicast (and also unicast) list when
spawning VFs in switchdev mode, so the state of internal rule list and
netdev's MAC list is consistent.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
