bridge: Fix problems around fdb entries pointing to the bridge device
Adding fdb entries pointing to the bridge device uses fdb_insert(), which lacks various checks and does not respect added_by_user flag. As a result, some inconsistent behavior can happen: * Adding temporary entries succeeds but results in permanent entries. * Same goes for "dynamic" and "use". * Changing mac address of the bridge device causes deletion of user-added entries. * Replacing existing entries looks successful from userspace but actually not, regardless of NLM_F_EXCL flag. Use the same logic as other entries and fix them.
