Add a per-device netdev_hw_addr_list cache (rx_mode_addr_cache) that allows __hw_addr_list_snapshot() and __hw_addr_list_reconcile() to reuse previously allocated entries instead of hitting GFP_ATOMIC on every snapshot cycle. snapshot pops entries from the cache when available, falling back to __hw_addr_create(). reconcile splices both snapshot lists back into the cache via __hw_addr_splice(). The cache is flushed in free_netdev().
