      bridge: multicast snooping exports #2
      
      Some people pointed out to me that it might be helpful to add stubs for
      the newly added multicast exports. That way e.g. batman-adv should continue
      to be compile and useable without having to have a kernel compiled
      with bridge code in the future. This is what the first patch is supposed
      to do.
      
      The second patch adds a third multicast export for the bridge which
      e.g. batman-adv is supposed to use, too, soon: Just like the bridge
      disables its multicast snooping activities if no querier is present,
      batman-adv needs to do the same if bridges are involved.
      
      These three exports should be the final ones needed to marry the bridge
      multicast snooping with the batman-adv multicast optimizations recently
      added for the 3.15 kernel, allowing to use these optimzations in common
      setups having a bridge on top of e.g. bat0, too. So far these bridged
      setups would fall back to simple flooding through the batman-adv mesh
      network for any multicast packet entering bat0.
      
      More information about the batman-adv multicast optimizations currently
      implemented can be found here:

      The integration on the batman-adv side could afterwards look like this,
      for instance (now including the third export):
