net: team: Unsync device addresses on ndo_stop

[ Upstream commit bd602342 ]

Netdev drivers are expected to call dev_{uc,mc}_sync() in their
ndo_set_rx_mode method and dev_{uc,mc}_unsync() in their ndo_stop method.
This is mentioned in the kerneldoc for those dev_* functions.

The team driver calls dev_{uc,mc}_unsync() during ndo_uninit instead of
ndo_stop. This is ineffective because address lists (dev->{uc,mc}) have
already been emptied in unregister_netdevice_many() before ndo_uninit is
called. This mistake can result in addresses being leftover on former team
ports after a team device has been deleted; see test_LAG_cleanup() in the
last patch in this series.

Add unsync calls at their expected location, team_close().

v3:
* When adding or deleting a port, only sync/unsync addresses if the team
  device is up. In other cases, it is taken care of at the right time by
  ndo_open/ndo_set_rx_mode/ndo_stop.
