Reuse the existing logic for multicast list synchronization for the unicast

__dev_addr_sync/unsync and moved from dev_mcast.c to dev.c. These are then
used to implement dev_unicast_sync/unsync as well.
I'm working on cleaning up Intel's FCoE stack, which generates new MAC
addresses from the fibre channel device id assigned by the fabric as per the
current draft specification in T11. When using such a protocol in a VLAN
environment it would be nice to not always be forced into promiscuous mode,
assuming the underlying Ethernet driver supports multiple unicast addresses as
well.
Looks good, applied. Thanks Chris.
