Subject: Re: BUG: when using 'brctl stp'

Bridge locking for /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/stp_enabled
was wrong.  Another bug in bridge utilities makes it such that
this interface, meant it wasn't being used.  The locking needs to be removed
from set_stp_state(), the lock is already acquired down in
br_stp_start()/br_stp_stop.
