Subject: net: bridge: multicast: Renaming of flag BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING

Hi Stephen,

Can we rename this flag BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING into something like
BRIDGE_MULTICAST_SNOOPING/BRIDGE_MCAST_SNOOPING? I am starting this
thread because this BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING flag holds information about
IGMP only but not about MLD. Or this is not a common name to describe
both IGMP and MLD. Please let me know about my concern, so that I can
change the code and submit a patch.

Thanks,
UjjaL Roy
