Francesco Ruggeri 82f17091e6 net: delete stale packet_mclist entries
When an interface is deleted from a net namespace the ifindex in the
corresponding entries in PF_PACKET sockets' mclists becomes stale.
This can create inconsistencies if later an interface with the same ifindex
is moved from a different namespace (not that unlikely since ifindexes are
per-namespace).
In particular we saw problems with dev->promiscuity, resulting
in "promiscuity touches roof, set promiscuity failed. promiscuity
feature of device might be broken" warnings and EOVERFLOW failures of
setsockopt(PACKET_ADD_MEMBERSHIP).
This patch deletes the mclist entries for interfaces that are deleted.
Since this now causes setsockopt(PACKET_DROP_MEMBERSHIP) to fail with
EADDRNOTAVAIL if called after the interface is deleted, also make
packet_mc_drop not fail.
