Currently we are reading an uninitialized value for the max_delay
variable when snooping an MLD query message of invalid length and would
update our timers with that.

Fixing this by simply ignoring such broken MLD queries (just like we do
for IGMP already).

This is a regression introduced by:
"bridge: disable snooping if there is no querier" (b00589af3b04)

Why not use else if here, other than that looks great.

Because it isn't really necessary, it is basically included
in the pskb_may_pull() already, just like it is in the according IGMP
code path.

And I thought it'd be nicer to handle it the same way as in the
IGMP code path to avoid diverging too much.

Cheers, Linus
