[net-next 2/2] xen-netback: add module parameter to disable dynamic multicast control

[ChiaHao Hsu <andyhsu@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In order to support live migration of guests between kernels
that do and do not support 'feature-dynamic-multicast-control',
we add a module parameter that allows the feature to be disabled
at run time, instead of using hardcode value.
The default value is enable.
