See inet_base_seq()/inet6_base_seq().

I don't see an equivalent of dev_addr_genid for the L2 mcaddr list; it should
probably be added.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will fix this issue in v7: I think I need
to  add a per netns counter bumped on dev->mc changes and combine it
with dev_base_seq like inet_base_seq() does.

Thanks,
