[Bridge] [PATCH] bridge: Relay bridge multicast pkgs if !STP

Currently the bridge drops all STP pkgs when
STP is off. This makes the bridge relay the Bridge Group
multicast address, 01:80:c2:00:00:00, when STP is off.
This allows for loop detection by other bridges doing STP.

V2:
 - Use compare_ether_address()
 - Invert if logic, hopefully easier to read?
