When userspace wants to take over a fdb entry by setting it as
EXTERN_LEARNED, we set both flags BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_EXT_LEARN and
BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_USER in br_fdb_external_learn_add().
If the bridge updates the entry later because its port changed, we clear
the BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_EXT_LEARN flag, but leave the BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_USER
flag set.
If userspace then wants to take over the entry again,
br_fdb_external_learn_add() sees that BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_USER and skips
setting the BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_EXT_LEARN flags, thus silently ignores the
update:
if (test_bit(BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_EXT_LEARN, &fdb->flags)) {
/* Refresh entry */
fdb->used = jiffies;
} else if (!test_bit(BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_USER, &fdb->flags)) {
/* Take over SW learned entry */
set_bit(BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_EXT_LEARN, &fdb->flags);
modified = true;
}
Fix this by relaxing the condition for setting BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_EXT_LEARN
by also allowing it if swdev_notify is true, which it will only be for
user initiated updates.

such")
