There are so many corner cases that are not handled properly around local
fdb entries.
- We might fail to delete the old entry and might delete an arbitrary local
  entry when changing mac address of a bridge port.
- We always fail to delete the old entry when changing mac address of the
  bridge device.
- We might incorrectly delete a necessary entry when detaching a bridge port.
- We might incorrectly delete a necessary entry when deleting a vlan.
and so on.

This is a patch series to fix these issues.
