Subject: [RFC net-next] net: bridge: multicast: notify switchdev driver whenever MC processing gets disabled

Whenever bridge driver hits the max capacity of MDBs, it disables
the MC processing (by setting corresponding bridge option), but never
notifies switchdev about such change (the notifiers are called only upon
explicit setting of this option, through the registered netlink interface).

This could lead to situation when Software MDB processing gets disabled,
but this event never gets offloaded to the underlying Hardware.

I would like to propose to simply add a notify message in such case,
as in other places where this option gets altered.
