Subject: [PATCH] bridge: do not call setup_timer() multiple times

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

commit 9f00b2e7cf24 ("bridge: only expire the mdb entry when query is
received") added a nasty bug as an active timer can be reinitialized.

setup_timer() must be done once, no matter how many time mod_timer()
is called. br_multicast_new_group() is the right place to do this.
