This change ensures that the new multicast active state variable is
immediately unset if our internal IGMP/MLD querier was elected and
now disabled.

If no IGMP/MLD querier exists on the link then we can't reliably receive
IGMP/MLD reports and in turn can't ensure the completeness of our MDB
anymore either.

No functional change for the fast/data path yet.
