Vladimir Oltean 7569459a52 net: dsa: manage flooding on the CPU ports
DSA can treat IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI on standalone user ports as
signifying whether packets with an unknown MAC DA will be received or
not. Since known MAC DAs are handled by FDB/MDB entries, this means that
promiscuity is analogous to including/excluding the CPU port from the
flood domain of those packets.

There are two ways to signal CPU flooding to drivers.

The first (chosen here) is to synthesize a call to
ds->ops->port_bridge_flags() for the CPU port, with a mask of
BR_FLOOD | BR_MCAST_FLOOD. This has the effect of turning on egress
flooding on the CPU port regardless of source.

The alternative would be to create a new ds->ops->port_host_flood()
which is called per user port. Some switches (sja1105) have a flood
domain that is managed per {ingress port, egress port} pair, so it would
make more sense for this kind of switch to not flood the CPU from port A
if just port B requires it. Nonetheless, the sja1105 has other quirks
that prevent it from making use of unicast filtering, and without a
concrete user making use of this feature, I chose not to implement it.
