Dariusz Sosnowski Sept. 18, 2024, 9:22 a.m. UTC 
This patch adds a new device flag - RTE_ETH_DEV_ALLMULTI_FORCE_RESTORE.
If device driver sets this flag, then it requires that ethdev library
forcefully reapplies allmulticast configration,
after the port is started.
As a result, unnecessary work can be removed from rte_eth_dev_start()
for drivers which apply all available configuration in dev_start()
(such drivers do not set the flag).

If RFC is approved, then the next version of this patch
should set the new flag for all drivers to maintain the same behavior,
until drivers adjust and it can be safely cleared.
