Linux Ethernet Bridging - Apr 2017 - [Bridge] [PATCH net-next] net: bridge: notify on hw fdb takeover

Recently we added support for SW fdbs to take over HW ones, but that
results in changing a user-visible fdb flag thus we need to send a
notification, also it's consistent with how HW takes over SW entries.
