Subject: [PATCH 3.14 55/84] bridge: mdb: fix double add notification

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@...ulusnetworks.com>

[ Upstream commit 5ebc784625ea68a9570d1f70557e7932988cd1b4 ]

Since the mdb add/del code was introduced there have been 2 br_mdb_notify
calls when doing br_mdb_add() resulting in 2 notifications on each add.

Example:
 Command: bridge mdb add dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent
 Before patch:
 root@...ian:~# bridge monitor all
 [MDB]dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent
 [MDB]dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent

 After patch:
 root@...ian:~# bridge monitor all
 [MDB]dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent
