Subject: [PATCH net-2.6] bnx2x: multicasts in NPAR mode

The chip was erroneously configured to accept all multicast frames
in a normal (none-promisc) rx mode both on the RSS and on the FCoE L2 rings
when in an NPAR mode. This caused packet duplication for every received multicast
frame in this mode.
