[PATCH net v2] net: bridge: multicast: notify switchdev driver whenever MC processing gets disabled

[PATCH net v2] net: bridge: multicast: notify switchdev driver whenever MC processing gets disabled

[Oleksandr Mazur]

Whenever bridge driver hits the max capacity of MDBs, it disables
the MC processing (by setting corresponding bridge option), but never
notifies switchdev about such change (the notifiers are called only upon
explicit setting of this option, through the registered netlink interface).

This could lead to situation when Software MDB processing gets disabled,
but this event never gets offloaded to the underlying Hardware.

Fix this by adding a notify message in such case.

Fixes: 147c1e9b902c ("switchdev: bridge: Offload multicast disabled")

V2:
  - target 'net' tree;
  - add missed 'Fixes' tag;
  - remove mc_disabled retcode check, as well as WARN_ON in case of err;

nit: you don't have to leave empty new line between Fixes and Signed-off-by.
Patch looks good to me.
