Subject: [PATCH iproute2-next master] bridge: fdb show: fix fdb entry state output for json context

From: Julien Fortin <julien@...ulusnetworks.com>

bridge json fdb show is printing an incorrect / non-machine readable
value, when using -j (json output) we are expecting machine readable
data that shouldn't require special handling/parsing.

$ bridge -j fdb show | \
python -c \
'import sys,json;print(json.dumps(json.loads(sys.stdin.read()),indent=4))'
