Subject: [PATCH 1/4] [NET] move dev_mc_discard from dev_mcast.c to dev.c

because this function is only called by unregister_netdevice,
this moving could make this non-global function static,
and also remove a function declaration in netdevice.h

another way, the sequential call to dev_unicast_discard and then
dev_mc_discard in unregister_netdevice have a similar mechanism that:
(netif_tx_lock_bh / __dev_addr_discard / netif_tx_unlock_bh),
they should merged into one to eliminate duplicates in acquiring and
releasing the dev->_xmit_lock, this would be done in my following patch.
