The patch is to fix sfc_set_mc_addr_list() behaviour in order
to make it accept an empty multicast address list thus making
it possible to remove multicast addresses inserted previously

Fixes: 0fa0070e4391 ("net/sfc: support multicast addresses list controls")

We have decided do not rely on rte_calloc() behaviour for 0 elements.
So, a bit longer patch to handle zero elements.
