Re: [PATCH net-next v2 05/14] net: bridge: mcast: track active state, foreign IGMP/MLD querier disappearance

This change ensures that the new multicast active state variable is unset
again after a foreign IGMP/MLD querier has disappeared (default: 255
seconds). If no new, other IGMP/MLD querier took over then we can't
reliably receive IGMP/MLD reports anymore and in turn can't ensure the
completeness of our MDB anymore either.

No functional change for the fast/data path yet.
