bridge: Support 802.1ad vlan filtering



This enables us to change the vlan protocol for vlan filtering.
We come to be able to filter frames on the basis of 802.1ad vlan tags
through a bridge.

This also changes br->group_addr if it has not been set by user.
This is needed for an 802.1ad bridge.
(See IEEE 802.1Q-2011 8.13.5.)

Furthermore, this sets br->group_fwd_mask_required so that an 802.1ad
bridge can forward the Nearest Customer Bridge group addresses except
for br->group_addr, which should be passed to higher layer.

To change the vlan protocol, write a protocol in sysfs:
# echo 0x88a8 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/vlan_protocol
