Subject[PATCH 3.2 22/92] macvlan: Don't propagate IFF_ALLMULTI changes on down interfaces.
3.2.60-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Christensen <pch@ordbogen.com>

[ Upstream commit bbeb0eadcf9fe74fb2b9b1a6fea82cd538b1e556 ]

Clearing the IFF_ALLMULTI flag on a down interface could cause an allmulti
overflow on the underlying interface.

Attempting the set IFF_ALLMULTI on the underlying interface would cause an
error and the log message:

"allmulti touches root, set allmulti failed."
