[NET]: dev_mcast: add multicast list synchronization helpers
The method drivers currently use to synchronize multicast lists is not
very pretty:
- walk the multicast list
- search each entry on a copy of the previous list
- if new add to lower device
- walk the copy of the previous list
- search each entry on the current list
- if removed delete from lower device
- copy entire list
This patch adds a new field to struct dev_addr_list to store the
synchronization state and adds two helper functions for synchronization
and cleanup.
