bridge: vlan: signal if anything changed on vlan add
Before this patch there was no way to tell if the vlan add operation actually changed anything, thus we would always generate a notification on adds. Let's make the notifications more precise and generate them only if anything changed, so use the new bool parameter to signal that the vlan was updated. We cannot return an error because there are valid use cases that will be broken (e.g. overlapping range add) and also we can't risk masking errors due to calls into drivers for vlan add which can potentially return anything.
