I agree with you that the current fix is not ideal, however it's the most

I stand by my work, you are free to improve upon it.
Part of the issue here is that kernel consumers aren't the only sources of
multicast address registrations -- for example, user applications can register
them directly using ioctls. Kernel consumers should be given every
opportunity to unregister addresses themselves (via event handlers on
tear-down) before they are ripped out, but if they're still there when it
comes time to free the interface, the stack should clean them up.
