Replicate IGMP frames across all slaves in activebackup mode. This

This is conceptually similar to the treatment of IGMP traffic in
bond_alb_xmit. In that case, IGMP traffic transmitted on any slave
is re-routed to the active slave in order to ensure that multicast
traffic continues to be directed to the active receiver.

Applied.  For future patches, please

* don't include description following the signed-off-by line

* if you are willing to special-case me, I actually don't like seeing a diffstat; I have to manually remove it before applying
