Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: dlink: fix multicast stats being counted incorrectly

`McstFramesRcvdOk` counts the number of received multicast packets, and
it reports the value correctly.

However, reading `McstFramesRcvdOk` clears the register to zero. As a
result, the driver was reporting only the packets since the last read,
instead of the accumulated total.

Fix this by updating the multicast statistics accumulatively instaed of
instantaneously.

Tested-on: D-Link DGE-550T Rev-A3
