PATCH v3 1/1 macvlan: fix the problem when mac address changes for passthru mode

The macvlan dev should always have the same mac address like lowerdev when in the passthru mode, change the mac address alone will break the work mechanism, so when the lowerdev or macvlan mac address changes, we should propagate the changes to another dev.

v1->v2: Allow macvlan dev to change mac address for passthru mode and propagate to
lowerdev.

v2->v3: Don't set the mac address to the lower dev's unicast address for
passthru mode when mac address changes.

Looks good.

The only thing I'd add is a check to see if we are setting the same mac address just to avoid all the possibly useless notifier work.
