Subject: [PATCH net] igmp: fix byte order in /proc/net/igmp output

/proc/net/igmp is a readonly attribute that shows multicast groups
to which different network interfaces are subscribed. Among other
things, it displays `multiaddr` which is a 32 bit network-byte-order
field, in hexadecimal format. Prior to this patch, the field was
displayed as an integer, resulting in reverse byte order on little
endian architectures. This patch converts it with ntohl() for display
the same way as this is done for the /proc/net/mcfilter attribute.

The patch changes (corrects) user-visible behaviour.
