bridge: Fix the way to find old local fdb entries in br_fdb_changeaddr
br_fdb_changeaddr() assumes that there is at most one local entry per port per vlan. It used to be true, but since commit 36fd2b63e3b4 ("bridge: allow creating/deleting fdb entries via netlink"), it has not been so. Therefore, the function might fail to search a correct previous address to be deleted and delete an arbitrary local entry if user has added local entries manually. Example of problematic case: ip link set eth0 address ee:ff:12:34:56:78 brctl addif br0 eth0 bridge fdb add 12:34:56:78:90:ab dev eth0 master ip link set eth0 address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff Then, the address 12:34:56:78:90:ab might be deleted instead of ee:ff:12:34:56:78, the original mac address of eth0. Address this issue by introducing a new flag, added_by_user, to struct net_bridge_fdb_entry. Note that br_fdb_delete_by_port() has to set added_by_user to 0 in cases like: ip link set eth0 address 12:34:56:78:90:ab ip link set eth1 address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff brctl addif br0 eth0 bridge fdb add aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff dev eth0 master brctl addif br0 eth1 brctl delif br0 eth0 In this case, kernel should delete the user-added entry aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff, but it also should have been added by "brctl addif br0 eth1" originally, so we don't delete it and treat it a new kernel-created entry.
