Offload the mrouter port forwarding to switchdev also.

Currently multicast snooping fails to forward traffic in some cases
where there're multiple hardware-offloading bridges involved.

Consider the following scenario:

                 +--------------------+
                 |                    |
                 |      Snooping   +--|    +------------+
                 |      Bridge 1   |P1|----| Listener 1 |
                 |     (Querier)   +--|    +------------+
                 |                    |
                 +--------------------+
                           |
                           |
                 +--------------------+
                 |    | mrouter |     |
+-----------+    |    +---------+  +--|    +------------+
| MC Source |----|      Snooping   |P2|----| Listener 2 |
+-----------|    |      Bridge 2   +--|    +------------+
                 |    (Non-Querier)   |
                 +--------------------+

In this scenario, Listener 2 is able to receive multicast traffic
from MC Source while Listener 1 is not. The reason is that, on
Snooping Bridge 2, when the (soft) bridge attempts to forward
a packet to the mrouter port via br_multicast_flood, the effort
is blocked by nbp_switchdev_allowed_egress, since offload_fwd_mark
indicates that the packet should have been handled by the hardware
already. Listener 2 would receive the packets without any problem
since P2 is programmed into the hardware as a member of the group;
however the mrouter port would not since the mrouter port would
normally not be a member of any group, and thus will not be added
to the address database on the hardware switch chip.

This patch takes a simplistic approach: when an mrouter port is added/
deleted, it's added/deleted to all mdb groups; and similarly, when
an mdb group is added/deleted, all mrouter ports are added/deleted
to/from it.

Before this patch, switchdev programming matches exactly with mdb:
 +-----+
 | mdb |
 +-----+
    |
 +----------------------------------------------+
 |  |        +--------------------------------+ |
 |  |        | both in mdb and switchdev      | |
 |  |        | +------+   +------+   +------+ | |
 |  +--------|-| port |---| port |---| port | | |
 |           | +------+   +------+   +------+ | |
 | switchdev +--------------------------------+ |
 +----------------------------------------------+

After this patch, some entries will only exist in switchdev and not
in mdb:
 +-----+
 | mdb |
 +-----+
    |
 +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
 |  |        +--------------------------------++---------------------+ |
 |  |        |  both in mdb and switchdev     ||  only in switchdev  | |
 |  |        | +------+   +------+   +------+ || +------+   +------+ | |
 |  +--------|-| port |---| port |---| port | || |  mr  |---|  mr  | | |
 |           | +------+   +------+   +------+ || +------+   +------+ | |
 | switchdev +--------------------------------++---------------------+ |
 +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
