Thanks for the report! Luckily this bug was introduced after
2.6.34 so we don't need it in stable.

bridge: Restore NULL check in br_mdb_ip_get

Somewhere along the line the NULL check in br_mdb_ip_get went
AWOL, causing crashes when we receive an IGMP packet with no
multicast table allocated.

This patch restores it and ensures all br_mdb_*_get functions
use it.
