This uncovered a bug in the bcm_sf2 driver which failed to set
ds->vlan_filtering_is_global so with that fixed, I was able to verify
that the scenario above would produce the above message and failure, and
with the patch applied this works correctly as expected without
disabling VLAN filtering on br0. When the last port on br0 leaves the
bridge however, VLAN filtering is turned off since there is no more user
requiring it.
