    bridge: Support 802.1ad vlan filtering · 204177f3

    This enables us to change the vlan protocol for vlan filtering.
    We come to be able to filter frames on the basis of 802.1ad vlan tags
    through a bridge.
    
    This also changes br->group_addr if it has not been set by user.
    This is needed for an 802.1ad bridge.
    (See IEEE 802.1Q-2011 8.13.5.)
    
    Furthermore, this sets br->group_fwd_mask_required so that an 802.1ad
    bridge can forward the Nearest Customer Bridge group addresses except
    for br->group_addr, which should be passed to higher layer.
    
    To change the vlan protocol, write a protocol in sysfs:
    # echo 0x88a8 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/vlan_protocol
