[Bridge] [PATCH net-next] bridge: vlan: allow to suppress local mac install for all vlans

From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay at cumulusnetworks.com>

This patch adds a new knob that, when enabled, allows to suppress the
installation of local fdb entries in newly created vlans. This could
pose a big scalability issue if we have a large number of ports and a
large number of vlans, e.g. in a 48 port device with 2000 vlans these
entries easily go up to 96000.
Note that packets for these macs are still received properly because they
are added in vlan 0 as "own" macs and referenced when fdb lookup by vlan
results in a miss.
Also note that vlan membership of ingress port and the bridge device
as egress are still being correctly enforced.

The default (0/off) is keeping the current behaviour.

Based on a patch by Wilson Kok (wkok at cumulusnetworks.com).

As usual I'll post iproute2 patch if this one gets accepted.
