====================
sfc: support for cascaded multicast filtering

Recent versions of firmware for SFC9100 adapters add support for filter
 chaining, in which packets matching multiple filters are delivered to all
 filters' recipients, rather than only the highest match-priority filter as was
 previously the case.
This patch series enables this feature and redesigns the filter handling code
 to make use of it; in particular, subscribing to a multicast address on one
 function no longer prevents traffic to that address reaching another function
 which is in promiscuous or allmulti mode.
If the firmware does not support filter chaining, the driver will fall back to
 the old behaviour.
