Multicast groups are stored in global buffer. Check for needed buffer size
incorrectly compares buffer size to first id for family. This means that
for families with more than one mcast id one may allocate too small buffer
and end up writing rest of the groups to some unallocated memory. Fix the
buffer size check to compare allocated space to last mcast id for the
family.

Tested on ARM using kernel 3.14
