Brett Creeley a6192bae12 ice: don't remove netdev->dev_addr from uc sync list 
[ Upstream commit 3ba7f53f8b ]

In some circumstances, such as with bridging, it's possible that the
stack will add the device's own MAC address to its unicast address list.

If, later, the stack deletes this address, the driver will receive a
request to remove this address.

The driver stores its current MAC address as part of the VSI MAC filter
list instead of separately. So, this causes a problem when the device's
MAC address is deleted unexpectedly, which results in traffic failure in
some cases.

The following configuration steps will reproduce the previously
mentioned problem:

> ip link set eth0 up
> ip link add dev br0 type bridge
> ip link set br0 up
> ip addr flush dev eth0
> ip link set eth0 master br0
> echo 1 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/vlan_filtering
> modprobe -r veth
> modprobe -r bridge
> ip addr add 192.168.1.100/24 dev eth0

The following ping command fails due to the netdev->dev_addr being
deleted when removing the bridge module.
> ping <link partner>

Fix this by making sure to not delete the netdev->dev_addr during MAC
address sync. After fixing this issue it was noticed that the
netdev_warn() in .set_mac was overly verbose, so make it at
netdev_dbg().

Also, there is a possibility of a race condition between .set_mac and
.set_rx_mode. Fix this by calling netif_addr_lock_bh() and
netif_addr_unlock_bh() on the device's netdev when the netdev->dev_addr
is going to be updated in .set_mac.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
