bridge: Fix possibly wrong MLD queries' ethernet source address

Browse Source 
The ipv6_dev_get_saddr() is currently called with an uninitialized
destination address. Although in tests it usually seemed to nevertheless
always fetch the right source address, there seems to be a possible race
condition.

Therefore this commit changes this, first setting the destination
address and only after that fetching the source address.
