net: dsa: flood multicast to CPU when slave has IFF_PROMISC

Certain DSA switches can eliminate flooding to the CPU when none of the
ports have the IFF_ALLMULTI or IFF_PROMISC flags set. This is done by
synthesizing a call to dsa_port_bridge_flags() for the CPU port, a call
which normally comes from the bridge driver via switchdev.

The bridge port flags and IFF_PROMISC|IFF_ALLMULTI have slightly
different semantics, and due to inattention/lack of proper testing, the
IFF_PROMISC flag allows unknown unicast to be flooded to the CPU, but
not unknown multicast.

This must be fixed by setting both BR_FLOOD (unicast) and BR_MCAST_FLOOD
in the synthesized dsa_port_bridge_flags() call, since IFF_PROMISC means
that packets should not be filtered regardless of their MAC DA.
