net: bridge: add support for sticky fdb entries

Add support for entries which are "sticky", i.e. will not change their port if they show up from a different one. A new ndm flag is introduced for that purpose - NTF_STICKY. We allow to set it only to non-local entries. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>
