Subject: [PATCH net] r8169: respect userspace disabling IFF_MULTICAST

So far we ignore the setting of IFF_MULTICAST. Fix this and clear bit
AcceptMulticast if IFF_MULTICAST isn't set.

Note: Based on the implementations I've seen it doesn't seem to be 100% clear
what a driver is supposed to do if IFF_ALLMULTI is set but IFF_MULTICAST
is not. This patch is based on the understanding that IFF_MULTICAST has
precedence.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
