net: introduce iterators over synced hw addresses
Some network drivers use __dev_mc_sync()/__dev_uc_sync() and therefore program the hardware only with addresses with a non-zero sync_cnt. Some of the above drivers also need to save/restore the address filtering lists when certain events happen, and they need to walk through the struct net_device :: uc and struct net_device :: mc lists. But these lists contain unsynced addresses too. To keep the appearance of an elementary form of data encapsulation, provide iterators through these lists that only look at entries with a non-zero sync_cnt, instead of filtering entries out from device drivers.
