Nice patch, I always wondered why we locked the mac learning table
entry in that case.  SLB is kind of a mess.

I could imagine a reader wondering what an active slave is precisely.
I would mention that it's arbitrarily chosen specifically for handling
this case.

I think we should update ovs-vswitchd to warn when SLB and flood-vlans
is set on the same bridge.  Probably should be a different patch
though.
