Okay, I'll drop the claim in v4.

Not related to this patch, will send a follow up.

In theory yes, but this follows the existing dumps: there is no
generation counter for dev->mc, and in_dev_dump_ifmcaddr() has the
same window. I'd rather keep it consistent than add a counter just
for this one. If the issue is really worth fixing, I will send a
follow up to fix both places.
