mlxsw: spectrum_switchdev: Release multicast groups during fini

Each multicast group (MID) stores a bitmap of ports to which a packet
should be forwarded to in case an MDB entry associated with the MID is
hit.

Since the initial introduction of IGMP snooping in commit 3a49b4fd
("mlxsw: Adding layer 2 multicast support") the driver didn't correctly
free these multicast groups upon ungraceful situations such as the
removal of the upper bridge device or module removal.

The correct way to fix this is to associate each MID with the bridge
ports member in it and then drop the reference in case the bridge port
is destroyed, but this will result in a lot more code and will be fixed
in net-next.

For now, upon module removal, traverse the MID list and release each
one.
