[Bridge] [PATCH] stp timer fix, linux version 2.4

[Francesco Dolcini <fdolcini@sysnetsistemi.it>]

In kernel 2.4, br_record_config_information update message_age_timer
with jiffies in the past. In 2.6 is already fixed and a similar fix
appeared in v2.4.35.3.

sorry if you receive this twice, I had problem sending to the list (I
think my previous mail got filtered)
