[PATCH RFC/RFT net-next v2 2/5] net: dsa: deny multiple 8021q uppers on bridged ports for the same VLAN

When creating 8021q uppers on bridged ports on a vlan filtering bridge,
we will configure the VLAN on the ports. For the dsa driver, there is no
difference between a 8021q upper on bridged port and a port vlan
configured within the bridge.

For that reason, if we configure a second 8021q upper for the same VLAN
on a different port of the bridge, we implicitly enable forwarding
between these ports on that VLAN.

This breaks the requirement for 8021q uppers for the VLAN to be
consumed, so we need to reject these configurations. Reuse
dsa_user_vlan_check_for_8021q_uppers() and change its argument to just
the vlan id.

Before:

$ ip link add br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
$ ip link set swp1 master br0
$ ip link set swp2 master br0
$ ip link add swp1.100 link GbE1 type vlan id 100
$ ip link add swp2.100 link GbE2 type vlan id 100
$

After:

$ ip link add br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
$ ip link set swp1 master br0
$ ip link set swp2 master br0
$ ip link add swp1.100 link GbE1 type vlan id 100
$ ip link add swp2.100 link GbE2 type vlan id 100
