macvlan: Set IFF_UNICAST_FLT flag to prevent unnecessary promisc mode.
[ Upstream commit 87ab7f6f2874f1115817e394a7ed2dea1c72549e ] Macvlan already supports hw address filters. Set the IFF_UNICAST_FLT so that it doesn't needlesly enter PROMISC mode when macvlans are stacked. Signed-of-by: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
