No longer makes any sense now that you're removing all of the MC
addresses.
Also I know it seems that it should be guaranteed that re-adding all of
the previously configured MC addresses should succeed. But I am always
wary when I see error codes ignored like this.
This test makes destructure changes to the device's configuration,
perhaps in a non-restorable fashion if errors occur re-adding the MC
list entries.
Running a test should never even remotely introduce a change in the
device state like that.
I really don't like this, to be honest. I'd hate to be the user who
had this somehow trigger on them and then have to diagnose it. :-/
