From: Vadim Lomovtsev <Vadim.Lomovtsev@cavium.com>

It is too expensive to pass u64 values via linked list, instead
allocate array for them by overall number of mac addresses from netdev.

This eventually removes multiple kmalloc() calls, aviod memory
fragmentation and allow to put single null check on kmalloc
return value in order to prevent a potential null pointer dereference.

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1467429 ("Dereference null return value")
Fixes: 37c3347eb247 ("net: thunderx: add ndo_set_rx_mode callback implementation for VF")

Changes from v1 to v2:
 - C99 syntax: update xcast_addr_list struct field mc[0] -> mc[];
Changes from v2 to v3:
 - update commit description with 'Reported-by: Dan Carpenter';
 - update size calculations for mc list to offsetof() call
   instead of explicit arithmetic;
Changes from v3 to v4:
 - change loop control variable type from u8 to int, accordingly
   to mc_count size;
