[PATCH net-next] bridge: add NTF_USE support

[PATCH net-next] bridge: add NTF_USE support

[Stephen Hemminger]

More changes to the recent code to support control of forwarding
database via netlink.
   * Support NTF_USE like neighbour table
   * Validate state bits from application
   * Only send notifications (and change bits) if new entry is
     different.
