r8169: remove multicast filter limit
Once upon a time, when r8169 was new, the multicast filter limit code was copied from RTL8139 driver. There the filter limit is even user-configurable. The filtering is hash-based and we don't have perfect filtering. Actually the mc filtering on RTL8125 still seems to be the same as used on 8390/NE2000. So it's not clear to me which benefit it should bring when switching to all-multi mode once a certain number of filter bits is set. More the opposite: Filtering out at least some unwanted mc traffic is better than no filtering. Also the available chip documentation doesn't mention any restriction. Therefore remove the filter limit.
