Subject: net: Do not wrap sysctl igmp_max_memberships in IP_MULTICAST


From: Joakim Tjernlund <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 192910a6cca5e50e5bd6cbd1da0e7376c7adfe62 ]

controlling igmp_max_membership is useful even when IP_MULTICAST
is off.
Quagga(an OSPF deamon) uses multicast addresses for all interfaces
using a single socket and hits igmp_max_membership limit when
there are 20 interfaces or more.
Always export sysctl igmp_max_memberships in proc, just like
igmp_max_msf
