If multicast snooping is enabled, multicast packets may not always end up
on the local bridge interface, if the host is not a member of the multicast
group. Similar to how IFF_PROMISC allows all packets to be received
locally, let IFF_ALLMULTI allow all multicast packets to be received.
Would be good to explain in the commit message why this is needed when
you can instead configure the bridge as a router port. Felix provided
useful information on v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/7932cd23-571e-4646-b5dd-467ec8106695@xxxxxxxx/
Will change.

Since Felix didn't send v2 for this patch, I decided to do it by myself.
Felix provided his SoB on v2? If not, "Reported-by" might be more
appropriate.
Will fix.
Changes since v1:
- Move to net-next
- Changed code according to Nikolay's advice

The alignment here is off. Also, you can drop the parenthesis.
local_rcv = true;
DEV_STATS_INC(br->dev, multicast);
