mainlining shenanigans

This patch adds a new bridge port flag BR_NEIGH_SUPPRESS to suppress arp and nd flood on bridge ports. It implements rfc7432, section 10. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7432#section-10 for ethernet VPN deployments. It is similar to the existing BR_PROXYARP* flags but has a few semantic differences to conform to EVPN standard. Unlike the existing flags, this new flag suppresses flood of all neigh discovery packets (arp and nd) to tunnel ports. Supports both vlan filtering and non-vlan filtering bridges. In case of EVPN, it is mainly used to avoid flooding of arp and nd packets to tunnel ports like vxlan. This patch adds netlink and sysfs support to set this bridge port flag.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
