Xin Long b1b9d36602 bridge: move bridge multicast cleanup to ndo_uninit
During removing a bridge device, if the bridge is still up, a new mdb entry
still can be added in br_multicast_add_group() after all mdb entries are
removed in br_multicast_dev_del(). Like the path:

  mld_ifc_timer_expire ->
    mld_sendpack -> ...
      br_multicast_rcv ->
        br_multicast_add_group

The new mp's timer will be set up. If the timer expires after the bridge
is freed, it may cause use-after-free panic in br_multicast_group_expired.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000048

Nikolay also found it would cause a memory leak - the mdb hash is
reallocated and not freed due to the mdb rehash.

This could happen when ip link remove a bridge or destroy a netns with a
bridge device inside.

With Nikolay's suggestion, this patch is to clean up bridge multicast in
ndo_uninit after bridge dev is shutdown, instead of br_dev_delete, so
that netif_running check in br_multicast_add_group can avoid this issue.

v1->v2:
  - fix this issue by moving br_multicast_dev_del to ndo_uninit, instead
    of calling dev_close in br_dev_delete.

(NOTE: Depends upon b6fe0440c6 ("bridge: implement missing ndo_uninit()"))

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
