Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 3/3] net: bridge: Add a configurable default FDB learning limit

This adds a Kconfig option to configure a default FDB learning limit
system wide, so a distributor building a special purpose kernel can
limit all created bridges by default.

The limit is only a soft default setting and overridable per bridge
using netlink.

Signed-off-by: Johannes Nixdorf <jnixdorf-oss@....de>

Changes since v1:
 - Added a default limit in Kconfig. (deemed acceptable in review
