When set_multicast_list() is called the multicast task is restarted and the IPOIB_MCAST_STARTED bit is cleared. As a result for some window of time, multicast packets are not transmitted nor queued but rather dropped by ipoib_mcast_send(). These dropped packets are painful in two cases: - bonding fail-over which both calls set_multicast_list() on the new active slave and sends Gratuitous ARP through that slave. - IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP code which both calls set_multicast_list() on the device and issues IGMP leave. In both these cases, depending on the scheduling of the IPoIB multicast task, the packets would be dropped. As a result, in the bonding case, the failover would not be detected by the peers until their neighbour is renewed the neighbour (which takes a few tens of seconds). In the IGMP case, the IP router doesn't get an IGMP leave and would only learn on that from further probes on the group (also a delay of at least a few tens of seconds). Fix this by allowing transmission (or queuing) depending on the IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP flag instead of the IPOIB_MCAST_STARTED flag.
