net: bridge: locally receive all multicast packets if IFF_ALLMULTI is set
If multicast snooping is enabled, multicast packets may not always end up
on the local bridge interface, if the host is not a member of the multicast
group. Similar to how IFF_PROMISC allows all packets to be received
locally, let IFF_ALLMULTI allow all multicast packets to be received.
OpenWrt uses a user space daemon for DHCPv6/RA/NDP handling, and in relay
mode it sets the ALLMULTI flag in order to receive all relevant queries on
the network.
This works for normal network interfaces and non-snooping bridges, but not
snooping bridges (unless multicast routing is enabled).
