net: dsa: fix missing host-filtered multicast addresses

DSA ports are stacked devices, so they use dev_mc_add() to sync their
address list to their lower interface (DSA master). But they are also
hardware devices, so they program those addresses to hardware using the
__dev_mc_add() sync and unsync callbacks.

Unfortunately both cannot work at the same time, and it seems that the
multicast addresses which are already present on the DSA master, like
33:33:00:00:00:01 (added by addrconf.c as in6addr_linklocal_allnodes)
are synced to the master via dev_mc_sync(), but not to hardware by
__dev_mc_sync().

This happens because both the dev_mc_sync() -> __hw_addr_sync_one()
code path, as well as __dev_mc_sync() -> __hw_addr_sync_dev(), operate
on the same variable: ha->sync_cnt, in a way that causes the "sync"
method (dsa_slave_sync_mc) to no longer be called.

To fix the issue we need to work with the API in the way in which it was
intended to be used, and therefore, call dev_uc_add() and friends for
each individual hardware address, from the sync and unsync callbacks.
