[PATCH net] bridge: Only call /sbin/bridge-stp for the initial network namespace

[ebiederm@xmission.com (Eric W. Biederman)]

There is no defined mechanism to pass network namespace information
into /sbin/bridge-stp therefore don't even try to invoke it except
for bridge devices in the initial network namespace.

It is possible for unprivileged users to cause /sbin/bridge-stp to be
invoked for any network device name which if /sbin/bridge-stp does not
guard against unreasonable arguments or being invoked twice on the same
network device could cause problems.
