Subject: [PATCH] netns: Only route multicast trafic in init_net

Currently the code to only support multicast traffic in the initial
namespace is incomplete, and receiving a multicast packet causes in a
network namespace causes us to take an initialized lock.  Resulting
in a nasty oops. Ouch!

So until we have network namespace support in igmp.c simply disable
multicast packet reception.
