Printing in non JSON case was also wrong.
i.e.
              ...  state state=0x80
should be:
	      ... state 0x80

Let's do that.


The state=xxx value only shows up if the FDB entry has a value bridge command
doesn't understand. The bridge command needs to be able to display the new flag values.

Please fixup the two patches and resubmit to iproute2
