Yes, you are completely right, we can leak the sources on
ip_mc_destroy_dev() when we've ip_ma_put() it inside all the timers. Also,
I've seen that we called igmp_group_dropped() for every mc in dev->mc_list,
however we've done it already in ip_mc_down() before, which wouldn't lead
to anything (cause the device is already ->dead, and all timers are
stopped), but just would be a waste of time.

So, does this patch seem ok? If yes, I'll send it with the changelog.
