V5: fix two bugs pointed out by Thomas
    remove seq check for now, mark it as TODO

V4: remove some useless #include
    some coding style fix

V3: drop debugging printk's
    update selinux perm table as well

V2: drop patch 1/2, export ifindex directly
    Redesign netlink attributes
    Improve netlink seq check
    Handle IPv6 addr as well

This patch exports bridge multicast database via netlink
message type RTM_GETMDB. Similar to fdb, but currently bridge-specific.
We may need to support modify multicast database too (RTM_{ADD,DEL}MDB).

(Thanks to Thomas for patient reviews)

Applied, but required some manual fixing. It required adding if_bridge.h
to include/linux in iproute2 exported headers. Also patch still had some fuzz
against current version.
