This check and call to __bond_resend_igmp_join_requests would be better
in bond_resend_igmp_join_requests for 2 reasons:

1. bond_resend_igmp_join_requests already has a check for vlan devices.
It seems logical to check for the bridging case there also.

2. Calling __bond_resend_igmp_join_requests will not work as expected
when igmp_retrans>1 since no decrementing or rescheduling is done in
__bond_resend_igmp_join_requests.
