e1000: fix loss of multicast packets
e1000 (and e1000e, igb, ixgbe, ixgb) all do a series of
operations each time a multicast address is added. The flow goes
something like
1) stack adds one multicast address
2) stack passes whole current list of unicast and multicast
addresses to driver
3) driver clears entire list in hardware
4) driver programs each multicast address using iomem in a loop
This was causing multicast packets to be lost during the
reprogramming process.

Thanks to Dave Boutcher for his report and test program.
This driver fix prepares an array all at once in memory and
programs it in one shot to the hardware, not requiring an "erase"
cycle.
