Patch-mainline: v4.20-rc2

References: bnc#1113501, LTC#172953
Description: qeth: fix HiperSockets sniffer
Symptom: Can't enable HiperSockets sniffer.
Problem: Sniffing mode for L3 HiperSockets requires that no IP
addresses are registered with the HW.
Since commit 5f78e29ceebf
reworked the IP registration logic in the L3 subdriver,
this no longer works. When the qeth device is set online,
qeth_l3_recover_ip() now unconditionally registers all
unicast addresses from our internal IP table.
Solution: Skip the IP address registration at the lowest level.
Reproduction: Set 'sniffer' sysfs attribute, and run tcpdump on the
interface.
Upstream-Description:
s390/qeth: fix HiperSockets sniffer
Sniffing mode for L3 HiperSockets requires that no IP addresses are
registered with the HW. The preferred way to achieve this is for
userspace to delete all the IPs on the interface. But qeth is expected
to also tolerate a configuration where that is not the case, by skipping
the IP registration when in sniffer mode.
Since commit 5f78e29ceebf ("qeth: optimize IP handling in rx_mode callback")
reworked the IP registration logic in the L3 subdriver, this no longer
works. When the qeth device is set online, qeth_l3_recover_ip() now
unconditionally registers all unicast addresses from our internal
IP table.
While we could fix this particular problem by skipping
qeth_l3_recover_ip() on a sniffer device, the more future-proof change
is to skip the IP address registration at the lowest level. This way we
a) catch any future code path that attempts to register an IP address
without considering the sniffer scenario, and
b) continue to build up our internal IP table, so that if sniffer mode
is switched off later we can operate just like normal.
