Subject: [PATCH net-next] rocker: check for BRIDGE_FLAGS_SELF in bridge setlink handler

From: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@...ulusnetworks.com>

With the recent addition of the NETIF_F_HW_SWITCH_OFFLOAD flag
on rocker ports, the second command (bridge link set) below will turn off
learning in the rocker hw (Scott/Jiri, need some confirmation from
you that this is indeed a problem and if the below patch is ok).

ip link set dev swp1 master br0
bridge link set dev swp1 learning off master
bridge link set dev swp1 learning_sync on self

This patch fixes rocker to ignore learning setting when 'master'
is set. This makes it possible to set/unset learning in kernel and bridge
driver independently.

The below command will continue to set learning on in both kernel and rocker
hw:
bridge link set dev swp1 learning on
