Linux Ethernet Bridging - Nov 2019 - [Bridge] [PATCH net-next] net: bridge: fdb: eliminate extra port state tests from fast-path

When commit df1c0b8468b3 ("[BRIDGE]: Packets leaking out of
disabled/blocked ports.") introduced the port state tests in
br_fdb_update() it was to avoid learning/refreshing from STP BPDUs, it was
also used to avoid learning/refreshing from user-space with NTF_USE. Those
two tests are done for every packet entering the bridge if it's learning,
but for the fast-path we already have them checked in br_handle_frame() and
is unnecessary to do it again. Thus push the checks to the unlikely cases
and drop them from br_fdb_update(), the new nbp_state_should_learn() helper
is used to determine if the port state allows br_fdb_update() to be called.
The two places which need to do it manually are:
 - user-space add call with NTF_USE set
 - link-local packet learning done in __br_handle_local_finish()

Applied, thank you.
