Subject: [PATCH v4 net-next 5/7] net: dsa: exit early in dsa_slave_switchdev_event if we can't program the FDB

From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@....com>

Right now, the following would happen for a switch driver that does not
implement .port_fdb_add or .port_fdb_del.

dsa_slave_switchdev_event returns NOTIFY_OK and schedules:
-> dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work
   -> dsa_port_fdb_add
      -> dsa_port_notify(DSA_NOTIFIER_FDB_ADD)
         -> dsa_switch_fdb_add
            -> if (!ds->ops->port_fdb_add) return -EOPNOTSUPP;
   -> an error is printed with dev_dbg, and
      dsa_fdb_offload_notify(switchdev_work) is not called.

We can avoid scheduling the worker for nothing and say NOTIFY_DONE.
Because we don't call dsa_fdb_offload_notify, the static FDB entry will
remain just in the software bridge.
