udp: Increment UDP_MIB_IGNOREDMULTI for arriving unmatched multicasts
As NIC multicast filtering isn't perfect, and some platforms are quite content to spew broadcasts, we should not trigger an event for skb:kfree_skb when we do not have a match for such an incoming datagram. We do though want to avoid sweeping the matter under the rug entirely, so increment a suitable statistic. This incorporates feedback from David L. Stevens, Karl Neiss and Eric Dumazet. V3 - use bool per David Miller Signed-off-by: Rick Jones <rick.jones2@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
