bridge: mcast: Centralize netlink attribute parsing
Netlink attributes are currently passed deep in the MDB creation call chain, making it difficult to add new attributes. In addition, some validity checks are performed under the multicast lock although they can be performed before it is ever acquired. As a first step towards solving these issues, parse the RTM_{NEW,DEL}MDB messages into a configuration structure, relieving other functions from the need to handle raw netlink attributes. Subsequent patches will convert the MDB code to use this configuration structure. This is consistent with how other rtnetlink objects are handled, such as routes and nexthops.
