[PATCH 1/2] Hook into usbnet_change_mtu respecting usbnet driver_info

Dell D6000 exposes a CDC_NCM device for Ethernet traffic. However,
multicast Ethernet traffic is not processed making IPv6 not functional.
Other services, like mDNS used for LAN service discovery are also
hindered.

The actual reason is that CDC_NCM driver was not processing requests to
filter (admit) multicast traffic. I provide two patches to the linux
kernel that admit all Ethernet multicast traffic whenever a multicast
group is being joined.

The solution is not optimal, as it makes the system receive more traffic
than that strictly needed, but otherwise this only happens when the
computer is connected to a dock and thus is running on AC power. I
believe it is not worth the hassle to join only the requested groups.
This is the same that is done in the CDN_ETHER driver.

All USB bugs should be sent to the linux-...@vger.kernel.org mailing
list, and not entered into bugzilla.  Please bring this issue up there,
if it is still a problem in the latest kernel release.
