This check and call to __bond_resend_igmp_join_requests  would be better
in bond_resend_igmp_join_requests for 2 reasons:

1.  bond_resend_igmp_join_requests already has a check for vlan devices.
It seems logical to check for the bridging case there also.

2.  Calling __bond_resend_igmp_join_requests will not work as expected
when igmp_retrans>1 since no decrementing or rescheduling is done in
__bond_resend_igmp_join_requests.
