Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next 07/19] bridge: mcast: Move checks out of critical section

The checks only require information parsed from the RTM_NEWMDB netlink
message and do not rely on any state stored in the bridge driver.
Therefore, there is no need to perform the checks in the critical
section under the multicast lock.

Move the checks out of the critical section.
