There was a recent fix to the IGMP snooping code we have in
the bridging layer, if parsing of an ipv6 IGMP packet failed
we'd leak the packet (and thus references to whatever device
it referenced).

bridge: Fix skb leak when multicast parsing fails on TX
On the bridge TX path we're leaking an skb when br_multicast_rcv
returns an error.
