When forwarding multicast packets, the bridge takes MDB into account when
IGMP / MLD snooping is enabled. Currently, when snooping is disabled, the
MDB is retained, even though it is not used anymore.

At the same time, during the time that snooping is disabled, the IGMP / MLD
control packets are obviously ignored, and after the snooping is reenabled,
the administrator has to assume it is out of sync. In particular, missed
join and leave messages would lead to traffic being forwarded to wrong
interfaces.
