bridge: mcast: Remove pointless sequence generation counter assignment

Browse Source 
The purpose of the sequence generation counter in the netlink callback
is to identify if a multipart dump is consistent or not by calling
nl_dump_check_consistent() whenever a message is generated.

The function is not invoked by the MDB code, rendering the sequence
generation counter assignment pointless. Remove it.

Note that even if the function was invoked, we still could not
accurately determine if the dump is consistent or not, as there is no
sequence generation counter for MDB entries, unlike nexthop objects, for
example.
