Subject: [PATCH?] Fix call to ->change_rx_flags(dev, IFF_MULTICAST) in
	dev_change_flags()

Am I just being particularly dim today, or can the call to
dev->change_rx_flags(dev, IFF_MULTICAST) in dev_change_flags() never
happen?

We've just set dev->flags = flags & IFF_MULTICAST, effectively. So the
condition '(dev->flags ^ flags) & IFF_MULTICAST' is _never_ going to be
true.
