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.
