Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] net: dsa: still fast-age ports joining a bridge if they can't configure learning

Commit 39f32101543b ("net: dsa: don't fast age standalone ports")
assumed that all standalone ports disable address learning, but if the
switch driver implements .port_fast_age but not .port_bridge_flags (like
ksz9477, ksz8795, lantiq_gswip, lan9303), then that might not actually
be true.

So whereas before, the bridge temporarily walking us through the
BLOCKING STP state meant that the standalone ports had a checkpoint to
flush their baggage and start fresh when they join a bridge, after that
commit they no longer do.

Restore the old behavior for these drivers by checking if the switch can
toggle address learning. If it can't, disregard the "do_fast_age"
argument and unconditionally perform fast ageing on STP state changes.
