Subject: [Patch net-next v2] bridge: do not expire mdb entry as long as bridge still uses it

This bug can be observed in virt environment, when a KVM guest
communicates with the host via multicast. After some time (should
be 260 sec, I didn't measure), the multicast traffic suddenly
terminates.

This is due to the mdb entry for bridge itself expires automatically,
it should not expire as long as the bridge still generates multicast
traffic. It should expire when the bridge leaves the multicast group,
OR when there is no multicast traffic on this bridge.

I fix this by adding another bool which is set when there is
multicast traffic goes to the bridge, cleared in the expire timer and
when IGMP leave is received. I ran omping for 15 minutes, everything
looks good now.

This might not be the best fix, but might be the simplest fix.

(Adam, this problem is probably different with your problem,
at least this problem can _not_ be workarounded by setting
querier to 1.)
