net: introduce iterators over synced hw addresses

Some network drivers use __dev_mc_sync()/__dev_uc_sync() and therefore
program the hardware only with addresses with a non-zero sync_cnt.

Some of the above drivers also need to save/restore the address
filtering lists when certain events happen, and they need to walk
through the struct net_device :: uc and struct net_device :: mc lists.
But these lists contain unsynced addresses too.

To keep the appearance of an elementary form of data encapsulation,
provide iterators through these lists that only look at entries with a
non-zero sync_cnt, instead of filtering entries out from device drivers.
