macsec: set IFF_UNICAST_FLT priv flag

Cosmin reports the following locking issue:

  # BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at

  #   dump_stack_lvl+0x4f/0x60
  #   __might_resched+0xeb/0x140

Which is similar to recent syzkaller reports in [0] and [1] and triggers
because macsec does not advertise IFF_UNICAST_FLT although it has proper
ndo_set_rx_mode callback that takes care of pushing uc/mc addresses
down to the real device.

In general, dev_uc_add call path is problematic for stacking
non-IFF_UNICAST_FLT because we might grab netdev instance lock under
addr_list_lock spinlock, so this is not a systemic fix.
