From: Ivan Ilchenko <Ivan.Ilchenko@oktetlabs.ru>

Enabling/disabling of allmulticast mode is not always successful and
it should be taken into account to be able to handle it properly.

When correct return status is unclear from driver code, -EAGAIN is used.

Hi, Andrew
I think it's no need to define a 'ret'.
Return -EAGAIN and return 0 is enough.

Hi Qiming,

I have already merged the patchset to the next-net, what you have mentioned
looks like a minor issue, would you be OK with as it is?
