[ Upstream commit 7e1caeace0418381f36b3aa8403dfd82fc57fc53 ]
Macvlan device in passthru mode sets its lower device promiscuous mode according to its MACVLAN_FLAG_NOPROMISC flag instead of synchronizing it to its own promiscuity setting. However, macvlan_change_rx_flags() function doesn't check the mode before propagating such changes to the lower device which can cause net_device->promiscuity counter overflow as illustrated by reproduction example [0] and resulting dmesg log [1]. Fix the issue by first verifying the mode in macvlan_change_rx_flags() function before propagating promiscuous mode change to the lower device.
