net: add address list snapshot and reconciliation infrastructure
Introduce __hw_addr_list_snapshot() and __hw_addr_list_reconcile()
for use by the upcoming ndo_set_rx_mode_async callback.
The async rx_mode path needs to snapshot the device's unicast and
multicast address lists under the addr_lock, hand those snapshots
to the driver (which may sleep), and then propagate any sync_cnt
changes back to the real lists. Two identical snapshots are taken:
a work copy for the driver to pass to __hw_addr_sync_dev() and a
reference copy to compute deltas against.
__hw_addr_list_reconcile() walks the reference snapshot comparing
each entry against the work snapshot to determine what the driver
synced or unsynced. It then applies those deltas to the real list,
handling concurrent modifications:
- If the real entry was concurrently removed but the driver synced
it to hardware (delta > 0), re-insert a stale entry so the next
work run properly unsyncs it from hardware.
- If the entry still exists, apply the delta normally. An entry
whose refcount drops to zero is removed.
