net: dsa: inherit the actual bridge port flags at join time



DSA currently assumes that the bridge port starts off with this
constellation of bridge port flags:

- learning on
- unicast flooding on
- multicast flooding on
- broadcast flooding on

just by virtue of code copy-pasta from the bridge layer (new_nbp).
This was a simple enough strategy thus far, because the 'bridge join'
moment always coincided with the 'bridge port creation' moment.

But with sandwiched interfaces, such as:

 br0
  |
bond0
  |
 swp0

it may happen that the user has had time to change the bridge port flags
of bond0 before enslaving swp0 to it. In that case, swp0 will falsely
assume that the bridge port flags are those determined by new_nbp, when
in fact this can happen:

ip link add br0 type bridge
ip link add bond0 type bond
ip link set bond0 master br0
ip link set bond0 type bridge_slave learning off
ip link set swp0 master br0

Now swp0 has learning enabled, bond0 has learning disabled. Not nice.

Fix this by "dumpster diving" through the actual bridge port flags with
br_port_flag_is_set, at bridge join time.

We use this opportunity to split dsa_port_change_brport_flags into two
distinct functions called dsa_port_inherit_brport_flags and
dsa_port_clear_brport_flags, now that the implementation for the two
cases is no longer similar. This patch also creates two functions called
dsa_port_switchdev_sync and dsa_port_switchdev_unsync which collect what
we have so far, even if that's asymmetrical. More is going to be added
in the next patch.
