[net-next,0/2] bridge: multicast: per vlan query improvement when port or vlan state changes

Message

The current implementation of br_multicast_enable_port() only operates on
port's multicast context, which doesn't take into account in case of vlan
snooping, one downside is the port's igmp query timer will NOT resume when
port state gets changed from BR_STATE_BLOCKING to BR_STATE_FORWARDING etc.

Such code flow will briefly look like:
1.vlan snooping 
  --> br_multicast_port_query_expired with per vlan port_mcast_ctx
  --> port in BR_STATE_BLOCKING state --> then one-shot timer discontinued

The port state could be changed by STP daemon or kernel STP, taking mstpd
as example:

2.mstpd --> netlink_sendmsg --> br_setlink --> br_set_port_state with non 
  blocking states, i.e. BR_STATE_LEARNING or BR_STATE_FORWARDING
  --> br_port_state_selection --> br_multicast_enable_port
  --> enable multicast with port's multicast_ctx

Here for per vlan query, the port_mcast_ctx of each vlan should be used
instead of port's multicast_ctx. The first patch corrects such behavior.

Similarly, vlan state could also impact multicast behavior, the 2nd patch
adds function to update the corresponding multicast context when vlan state
changes.
