net: bridge: optimize backup_port fdb convergence
We can optimize the fdb convergence when a backup_port is present by not immediately flushing the entries of the stopped port since traffic for those entries will flow towards the backup_port. There are 2 cases specifically that benefit most: - when the stopped port comes up before the entries expire by themselves - when there's an external entry refresh and they're kept while the backup_port is operating (e.g. mlag) Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
