[PATCH net-next] net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: don't flush mcast entries while switch promisc mode

No need now to flush mcast entries in switch mode while toggling to
promiscuous mode. It's not needed as vlan reg_mcast = ALL_PORTS
and mcast/vlan ports = ALL_PORTS, the same happening for vlan
unreg_mcast, it's set to ALL_PORT_MASK just after calling promisc
mode routine by calling set allmulti. I suppose main reason to flush
them is to use unreg_mcast to receive all to host port. Thus, now, all
mcast packets are received anyway and no reason to flush mcast entries
unsafely, as they were synced with __dev_mc_sync() previously and are
not restored. Another way is to _dev_mc_unsync() them, but no need.
