Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next 14/19] bridge: mcast: Add a flag for user installed source entries

There are a few places where the bridge driver differentiates between
(S, G) entries installed by the kernel (in response to Membership
Reports) and those installed by user space. One of them is when deleting
an (S, G) entry corresponding to a source entry that is being deleted.

While user space cannot currently add a source entry to a (*, G), it can
add an (S, G) entry that later corresponds to a source entry created by
the reception of a Membership Report. If this source entry is later
deleted because its source timer expired or because the (*, G) entry is
being deleted, the bridge driver will not delete the corresponding (S,
G) entry if it was added by user space as permanent.

This is going to be a problem when the ability to install a (*, G) with
a source list is exposed to user space. In this case, when user space
installs the (*, G) as permanent, then all the (S, G) entries
corresponding to its source list will also be installed as permanent.
When user space deletes the (*, G), all the source entries will be
deleted and the expectation is that the corresponding (S, G) entries
will be deleted as well.

Solve this by introducing a new source entry flag denoting that the
entry was installed by user space. When the entry is deleted, delete the
corresponding (S, G) entry even if it was installed by user space as
permanent, as the flag tells us that it was installed in response to the
source entry being created.

The flag will be set in a subsequent patch where source entries are
created in response to user requests.
