[Bridge] [PATCHv3 net-next 2/2] net: Export IGMP/MLD message validation code

With this patch, the IGMP and MLD message validation functions are moved from the bridge code to IPv4/IPv6 multicast files. Some small refactoring was done to enhance readibility and to iron out some differences in behaviour between the IGMP and MLD parsing code (e.g. the skb-cloning of MLD message

[Bridge] [PATCHv3 net-next 0/2] Exporting IGMP/MLD checking from bridge code

The multicast optimizations in batman-adv are yet only usable and enabled in non-bridged scenarios. To be able to support bridged setups batman-adv needs to be able to detect IGMP/MLD queriers and reports on mesh nodes without bridges, too. See the following link for details: http://www.open-mesh.
