[PATCH iproute2-next 2/2] bridge: fdb: enable FDB blackhole feature

[Hans Schultz <netdev@kapio-technology.com>]

Block traffic to a specific host with the command:
bridge fdb add <MAC> vlan <vid> dev br0 blackhole

The blackhole FDB entries can be added, deleted and replaced with
ordinary FDB entries.
