Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 5/6] net: bridge: Add a configurable default
 FDB learning limit

Add 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 overrideable on a per bridge
basis using netlink.
