net: bridge: mcast: record querier port device ifindex instead of poi…
…nter Currently when a querier port is detected its net_bridge_port pointer is recorded, but it's used only for comparisons so it's fine to have stale pointer, in order to dereference and use the port pointer a proper accounting of its usage must be implemented adding unnecessary complexity. To solve the problem we can just store the netdevice ifindex instead of the port pointer and retrieve the bridge port. It is a best effort and the device needs to be validated that is still part of that bridge before use, but that is small price to pay for avoiding querier reference counting for each port/vlan.
