When set multicast_query_interval to a large value, the local variable
'time' in br_multicast_send_query() may overflow. If the time is smaller
than jiffies, the timer will expire immediately, and then call mod_timer()
again, which creates a loop and may trigger the following soft lockup
issue.

This issue can be reproduced with:
   ip link add br0 type bridge
   echo 1 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/multicast_querier
   echo 0xffffffffffffffff >
   	/sys/class/net/br0/bridge/multicast_query_interval
   ip link set dev br0 up

The multicast_startup_query_interval can also cause this issue. Similar to
the commit 99b40610956a("net: bridge: mcast: add and enforce query interval
                          ^ missing space
quoted
minimum"), add check for the query interval maximum to fix this issue.

Fixes: 7e4df51eb35d ("bridge: netlink: add support for igmp's intervals")
Probably doesn't matter in practice given how old both commits are, but
I think you should blame d902eee43f19 ("bridge: Add multicast
count/interval sysfs entries") instead. The commit message also uses the
sysfs path and not the netlink one.

Thanks for your suggestions!

The bug fix tag is really important. I will correct it and send a new 
patch later.
