r8169: respect userspace disabling IFF_MULTICAST
[ Upstream commit 8999ce4cfc87e61b4143ec2e7b93d8e92e11fa7f ]
So far we ignore the setting of IFF_MULTICAST. Fix this and clear bit
AcceptMulticast if IFF_MULTICAST isn't set.
Note: Based on the implementations I've seen it doesn't seem to be 100% clear
what a driver is supposed to do if IFF_ALLMULTI is set but IFF_MULTICAST
is not. This patch is based on the understanding that IFF_MULTICAST has
precedence.
