sfc: Insert multicast filters as well as mismatch filters in promiscuous mode
If a function is in promiscuous mode and another function has a broadcast or
multicast filter inserted, the function in promiscuous mode won't see that
broadcast or multicast traffic.
Most notably this breaks broadcast, which means ARP doesn't work. Less
show-stoppingly, a function listening on a multicast address that's also in
promiscuous mode will not see that multicast traffic if another function is
also listening on that multicast address.
