[Bridge] [PATCH net-next v4 4/6] net: bridge: Add netlink knobs for number / max learned FDB entries

The previous patch added accounting and a limit for the number of
dynamically learned FDB entries per bridge. However it did not provide
means to actually configure those bounds or read back the count. This
patch does that.

Two new netlink attributes are added for the accounting and limit of
dynamically learned FDB entries:
 - IFLA_BR_FDB_N_LEARNED (RO) for the number of entries accounted for
   a single bridge.
 - IFLA_BR_FDB_MAX_LEARNED (RW) for the configured limit of entries for
   the bridge.

The new attributes are used like this:

 # ip link add name br up type bridge fdb_max_learned 256
 # ip link add name v1 up master br type veth peer v2
 # ip link set up dev v2
 # mausezahn -a rand -c 1024 v2
 0.01 seconds (90877 packets per second
 # bridge fdb | grep -v permanent | wc -l
 256
 # ip -d link show dev br
 13: br: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 [...]
     [...] fdb_n_learned 256 fdb_max_learned 256

hmm? I thought this one was RO.

Actually you're using atomic for counting, but using a u32 for the 
limit, you should cap it because the count can overflow. Or you should
use atomic64 for the counting.
