Setting an invalid mac-address for a qeth layer2 device returns
with a strange error code:
# ip link set hsi1 address 00:00:00:00:00:01
RTNETLINK answers: Unknown error 18446744073709486085
Problem is caused by wrong usage of the return_code field within
structure qeth_ipa_cmd.
With this patch the ip command above returns
SIOCSIFHWADDR: Invalid argument

z/VM Virtual Switch Port Isolation allows guests on a VLAN UNAWARE
virtual switch to be isolated from other guests on the VSWITCH.
(See z/VM Apars VM64281 and VM64463).
The Linux qeth driver is affected, because it has to handle new
error codes introduced with the z/VM VSWITCH Port Isolation support.

1. ip_list handling after deregister failure of multicast address:
If error code "MC Address not found" is returned do not re-add
multicast address to ip_list.
For other error codes readd multicast address at the end of
function qeth_delete_all_mc.
2. ip_list handling after deregister failure or normal ip address:
If error code "IP Address not found" is returned do not re-add
multicast address to ip list.
This is especially important in IP address takeover scenarios,
to enable re-takeover of a taken over IP address.
