mroute: avoid calling if_allmulti with the lock held

Description

mroute: avoid calling if_allmulti with the lock held

Avoid locking issues when if_allmulti() calls the driver's if_ioctl,
because that may acquire sleepable locks (while we hold a non-sleepable
rwlock).

Fortunately there's no pressing need to hold the mroute lock while we
do this, so we can postpone the call slightly, until after we've
released the lock.

This avoids the following WITNESS warning (with iflib drivers):

lock order reversal: (sleepable after non-sleepable)

	 1st 0xffffffff82f64960 IPv4 multicast forwarding (IPv4 multicast forwarding, rw) @ /usr/src/sys/netinet/ip_mroute.c:1050
	 2nd 0xfffff8000480f180 iflib ctx lock (iflib ctx lock, sx) @ /usr/src/sys/net/iflib.c:4525
