Ido Schimmel 039c49a6e6 mlxsw: spectrum: Flush FDB when leaving bridge
As explained in previous commit, we should always take care of flushing
the FDB in the driver and not rely on bridge code.

We need to distinguish between two cases with regards to LAG:

1) Port is leaving LAG while LAG is bridged (or VLAN devices on top of
it). In this case don't flush the FDB entries pointing to the LAG ID, as
this will affect other ports still member in the LAG. Only flush the FDB
when the last port in the LAG is leaving the bridge.

2) LAG device is leaving the bridge. In this case the CHANGEUPPER event
is simply propagated to each member port, so make each port flush the
FDB in its turn.

Note that emptying a bridged LAG from ports creates an inconsistency
between hardware and software. A user who later (< ageing_time)
re-populates the LAG won't have any FDB entries pointing to the LAG ID
in hardware, but they will be present in the software bridge's FDB.
Currently there is no good solution to this problem, but this will be
addressed by us in the future.

In order to optimize the flushing process, flush by port or LAG ID if
there are no VLAN interfaces on top of the port. Otherwise, flush using
(Port / LAG ID, FID=VID} for each of the lower 4K FIDs. In the case of
VLAN device simply flush using {Port / LAG ID, vFID} with the vFID to
which the VLAN device is mapped to.
