bridge: multicast port group RCU fix

The recently introduced bridge mulitcast port group list was only
partially using RCU correctly. It was missing rcu_dereference()
and missing the necessary barrier on deletion.

The code should have used one of the standard list methods (list or hlist)
instead of open coding a RCU based link list.
