bridge: only expire the mdb entry when query is received
Currently we arm the expire timer when the mdb entry is added, however, this causes problem when there is no querier sent out after that. So we should only arm the timer when a corresponding query is received, as suggested by Herbert. And he also mentioned "if there is no querier then group subscriptions shouldn't expire. There has to be at least one querier in the network for this thing to work. Otherwise it just degenerates into a non-snooping switch, which is OK."
