bridge: simplify a br_multicast_query_received() function call

The call from the IPv6 part can be simplified as the beginning of the
calling function ensures that we end up here when having a proper IPv6
source address only.

Introduced by 6565b9eeef194afbb3beec80d6dd2447f4091f8c
("bridge: multicast: add sanity check for query source addresses")

This doesn't make any sense to me, is_general_query can be false at this
point.

Furthermore, even if your change would be correct, the argument is a
boolean not an integer.

This change has nothing to do with is_general_query, the fifth
argument. I'm modifying the fourth, the is_saddr flag. As Hannes
has pointed out here [0], now that we make sure that we have a
link-local IPv6 address at the beginning of
br_ip6_multicast_query() this implies that the source address is
not '::'.

Semantically yes. Syntactically the fourth argument is an integer
at the moment (unnecessarily). Should I change 'int saddr' to
'bool saddr' while at it, within the same patch?

Cheers
