Stanislav Fomichev a4c8332781 net: cache snapshot entries for ndo_set_rx_mode_async
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().
