Due to a logic bug, once promiscuous mode is enabled in the iseries_veth driver it is never disabled.
The driver keeps two flags, promiscuous and all_mcast which have exactly the same effect. This is because we only ever receive packets destined for us, or multicast packets. So consolidate them into one promiscuous flag for simplicity.
