Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next] net: bridge: drop packets with a local source

Currently, there is only a warning if a packet enters the bridge
that has the bridge's or one port's MAC address as source.

Clearly this indicates a network loop (or even spoofing) so we
generally do not want to process the packet. Therefore, move the check
already done for 802.1x scenarios up and do it unconditionally.

For example, a common scenario we see in the field:
In a accidental network loop scenario, if an IGMP join
loops back to us, it would cause mdb entries to stay indefinitely
even if there's no actual join from the outside. Therefore
this change can effectively prevent multicast storms, at least
for simple loops.
