Subject: [PATCH] net-procfs: Adjust buffer output in dev_mc_seq_show()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

* Use a special format string specification for the desired output of the
  array "addr" into a sequence.

  This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Delete the local variable "i" and a call of the function "seq_putc"
  which became unnecessary with this refactoring.
