To be able to use the upcoming SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_BRIDGE_MC_ACTIVE
as a potential replacement for SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_BRIDGE_MC_DISABLED
also check and toggle the active state if multicast snooping is enabled
or disabled. So that MC_ACTIVE not only checks the querier state, but
also if multicast snooping is enabled in general.

No functional change for the fast/data path yet.

Can you move this to the next patch so that this patch is only about the
global multicast snooping and the next patch is about the per-vlan
multicast snooping?
