Summary

When we release a multicast address (e.g. on interface shutdown) we may
still have packets queued in inm_scq. We have to free those, or we'll
leak memory.

Isn't IPv6 part affected too?

Move mbufq_drain() to the same place as in the IPv6 code.

So that's an interesting point. It turns out that it's not, because in in6m_purge() we do call mbufq_drain(&inm->in6m_scq);.
I've moved my change to match what we do in IPv6.
