As it stands all broadcast and multicast packets are queued and
processed in a work queue. This is so that we don't overwhelm
the receive softirq path by generating thousands of packets or
more (see commit 412ca1550cbe "macvlan: Move broadcasts into a
work queue").
As such all multicast packets will be delayed, even if they will
be received by a single macvlan device. As using a workqueue
is not free in terms of latency, we should avoid this where possible.
This patch adds a new filter to determine which addresses should
be delayed and which ones won't. This is done using a crude
counter of how many times an address has been added to the macvlan
port (ha->synced). For now if an address has been added more than
once, then it will be considered to be broadcast. This could be
tuned further by making this threshold configurable.
