    ifnet: Eliminate unnecessary synchronization of the interface index in the link layer address
    
    Change 80e60e236d85 made the if_index global, and for the whole lifecycle
    of an interface its index never changes, then there is no need to
    synchronize the interface index in the link layer address when moving
    interfaces from one vnet to another.
    
    No functional change intended.
