ionic: don't remove netdev->dev_addr when syncing uc list
Bridging, and possibly other upper stack gizmos, adds the lower device's netdev->dev_addr to its own uc list, and then requests it be deleted when the upper bridge device is removed. This delete request also happens with the bridging vlan_filtering is enabled and then disabled. Bonding has a similar behavior with the uc list, but since it also uses set_mac to manage netdev->dev_addr, it doesn't have the same the failure case. Because we store our netdev->dev_addr in our uc list, we need to ignore the delete request from dev_uc_sync so as to not lose the address and all hope of communicating. Note that ndo_set_mac_address is expressly changing netdev->dev_addr, so no limitation is set there.
