With an extra event mask we can easily extend the netdev work
to also service driver-defined events. For advanced drivers
this is probably not a perfect match, but it makes running
deferred work easier in simple cases.
Expose the netdev_work facility to drivers. Add helpers
to schedule work and a dedicated ndo to perform the driver-
-scheduled actions.

The rx_mode update runs from a workqueue: drivers have their
ndo_set_rx_mode_async() callback executed by a single global
work item under RTNL and ops lock. This is a useful pattern.
Support multiple "events" that need to be serviced and make RX_MODE
sync the first one. Call the events "core" because later on
we will let drivers define and schedule their own.
