Subject: [PATCH net-next] rtnetlink: Drop unnecessary return value from
 ndo_dflt_fdb_del

This change cleans up ndo_dflt_fdb_del to drop the ENOTSUPP return value since
that isn't actually returned anywhere in the code.  As a result we are able to
drop a few lines by just defaulting this to -EINVAL.
