OK, I've made the change. It was quite painful to rebase my next
patchset on top of it, but it's done now :)

As a result of this change, I've appended one small patch to v2 of this
patchset. It is constifying the 'group' argument of
br_multicast_new_port_group(). It is a dependency of the next patchset
which is already close to the limit in terms of size (most patches are
small).

Thanks!
