net: mscc: ocelot: Fix multicast to the CPU port

Multicast entries in the MAC table use the high bits of the MAC
address to encode the ports that should get the packets. But this port
mask does not work for the CPU port, to receive these packets on the
CPU port the MAC_CPU_COPY flag must be set.

Because of this IPv6 was effectively not working because neighbor
solicitations were never received. This was not apparent before commit
9403c158

 (net: mscc: ocelot: support IPv4, IPv6 and plain Ethernet mdb
entries) as the IPv6 entries were broken so all incoming IPv6
multicast was then treated as unknown and flooded on all ports.

To fix this problem rework the ocelot_mact_learn() to set the
MAC_CPU_COPY flag when a multicast entry that target the CPU port is
added. For this we have to read back the ports endcoded in the pseudo
MAC address by the caller. It is not a very nice design but that avoid
changing the callers and should make backporting easier.
