[openib-general] [git patch review 1/4] IPoIB: Don't start send-only joins while multicast thread is stopped

Fix the following race scenario:
  - Device is up.
  - Port event or set mcast list triggers ipoib_mcast_stop_thread,
    this cancels the query and waits on mcast "done" completion.
  - Completion is called and "done" is set.
  - Meanwhile, ipoib_mcast_send arrives and starts a new query,
    re-initializing "done".

Fix this by adding a "multicast started" bit and checking it before
starting a send-only join.
