ndo_fdb_add: Add a parameter to report whether notification was sent
Currently when FDB entries are added to or deleted from a VXLAN netdevice,
the VXLAN driver emits one notification, including the VXLAN-specific
attributes. The core however always sends a notification as well, a generic
one. Thus two notifications are unnecessarily sent for these operations. A
similar situation comes up with bridge driver, which also emits
notifications on its own:
# ip link add name vx type vxlan id 1000 dstport 4789
# bridge monitor fdb &
[1] 1981693
# bridge fdb add de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx self dst 192.0.2.1
de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx dst 192.0.2.1 self permanent
de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx self permanent
In order to prevent this duplicity, add a paremeter to ndo_fdb_add,
bool *notified. The flag is primed to false, and if the callee sends a
notification on its own, it sets it to true, thus informing the core that
it should not generate another notification.
