kernel: backport switchdev fix for bridge in bridge configurations

This patch fixes the forwarding behavior of bridge in bridge
configurations with DSA.

Without it, the configuration of the upper bridge might overwrite
settings of the lower bridge. For example, a vlan-aware bridge
with DSA interfaces in it might be offloaded to the DSA hardware. If the
bridge interface itself gets slave of a different bridge without vlan
filtering, the vlan filtering setting of the lower bridge is overwritten
by the upper bridge, which results in an incorrect hardware
configuration.

This was backported from kernel 5.7.

+Subject: [PATCH] net: switchdev: do not propagate bridge updates across
+ bridges
+
+When configuring a tree of independent bridges, propagating changes
+from the upper bridge across a bridge master to the lower bridge
+ports brings surprises.
+
+For example, a lower bridge may have vlan filtering enabled.  It
+may have a vlan interface attached to the bridge master, which may
+then be incorporated into another bridge.  As soon as the lower
+bridge vlan interface is attached to the upper bridge, the lower
+bridge has vlan filtering disabled.
+
+This occurs because switchdev recursively applies its changes to
+all lower devices no matter what.
