Subject: [PATCH net] bridge: stp: when using userspace stp stop kernel hello and hold timers

From: Satish Ashok <sashok@...ulusnetworks.com>

Stop the kernel STP hello and hold timers when user-space STP is being
used to stop generating both packets. These should be handled only by
the respective STP which is in control. Also ensure that when the bridge
is up these timers are started only when running with kernel STP.
The kernel STP should function as before.

Test done using user-space RSTP.
