    net: bridge: fdb: eliminate extra port state tests from fast-path · 5d1fcaf3

    When commit df1c0b84
    
     ("[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()
