Subject: [PATCH net] net: bridge: fix early call to br_stp_change_bridge_id

The early call to br_stp_change_bridge_id in bridge's newlink can cause
a memory leak if an error occurs during the newlink because the fdb
entries are not cleaned up if a different lladdr was specified, also
another minor issue is that it generates fdb notifications with
ifindex = 0. To remove this special case the call is done after netdev
register and we cleanup any bridge fdb entries on changelink error.
That also doesn't slow down normal bridge removal, alternative is to call
it in its ndo_uninit.

To reproduce the issue:
$ ip l add br0 address 00:11:22:33:44:55 type bridge group_fwd_mask 1
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

$ rmmod bridge

Consequently this also would fix the null ptr deref due to the rhashtable
not being initialized in net-next when br_stp_change_bridge_id is called.

Toshiaki, any reason you called br_stp_change_bridge_id before
register_netdevice when you introduced it in 30313a3d5794 ?
