I'd prefer to expose as few knobs as possible for this. If fast_join and
fast_leave are required for IGMP snooping to work, there is no point in
making them configurable separately.

Also it's weird to have MLD support and IGMP v3 configurable both
globally and per-port. Please derive the per-port config from the global
one instead of having separate attributes.

Also, you can simplify the callback structure by storing the state of
the various parameters in the struct and then just having one function
for applying the configured IGMP snooping state.
