IPoIB: Test for NULL broadcast object in ipiob_mcast_join_finish()

We saw a kernel oops in our regression testing when a multicast "join
finish" occurred just after the interface was -- this is
<https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1040>.  The test
randomly causes the HCA physical port to go down then up.

The cause of this is that ipoib_mcast_join_finish() processing happen
just after ipoib_mcast_dev_flush() was invoked (in which case the
broadcast pointer is NULL).  This patch tests for and handles the case
where priv->broadcast is NULL.
