Subject: [PATCH] Avoid interruption of multicast reception if mc list changes

The Altera TSE driver clears the multicast hash table before reapplying the
correct values. This results in an interruption of multicast reception on
any change of the mc addr list.

This patch recalculates the multicast hash table before applying it to the
hardware.
