mlxsw: spectrum: Treat IPv6 unregistered multicast as broadcast
When multicast snooping is enabled, the Linux bridge resorts to flooding unregistered multicast packets to all ports only in case it did not detect a querier in the network. The above condition is not reflected to underlying drivers, which is especially problematic in IPv6 environments, as multicast snooping is enabled by default and since neighbour solicitation packets might be treated as unregistered multicast packets in case there is no corresponding MDB entry. Until the Linux bridge reflects its querier state to underlying drivers, simply treat unregistered multicast packets as broadcast and allow them to reach their destination.
