Without this check someone could easily create a denial of service by injecting multicast-specific queries to enable the bridge snooping part if no real querier issuing periodic general queries is present on the link which would result in the bridge wrongly shutting down ports for multicast traffic as the bridge did not learn about these listeners.
With this patch the snooping code is enabled upon receiving valid, general queries only.
