I see there is precedent in the bridge driver for using dynamic
allocation as opposed to on-stack declaration using DECLARE_BITMAP().
I imagine this isn't just to be "heapsters", but why?

I don't have a very good sense of how much on-stack memory is too much
(a lot probably depends on the expected depth of the call stack too, and here it
doesn't appear to be too deep), but I see that 
mlxsw_sp_bridge_vxlan_vlan_is_valid()
has a DECLARE_BITMAP(vlans, VLAN_N_VID) too.

The comment applies for callers of br_mst_get_info() too.
