If there is no querier on a link then we won't get periodic reports and therefore won't be able to learn about multicast listeners behind ports, potentially leading to lost multicast packets, especially for multicast listeners that joined before the creation of the bridge. These lost multicast packets can appear since c5c23260 ("bridge: Add multicast_querier toggle and disable queries by default") in particular. With this patch we are flooding multicast packets if our querier is disabled and if we didn't detect any other querier. A grace period of the Maximum Response Delay of the querier is added to give multicast responses enough time to arrive and to be learned from before disabling the flooding behaviour again.
