When userspace wants to take over a fdb entry by setting it as
EXTERN_LEARNED, we set both flags BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_EXT_LEARN and
BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_USER in br_fdb_external_learn_add().
If the bridge updates the entry later because its port changed, we clear
the BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_EXT_LEARN flag, but leave the BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_USER
flag set.
If userspace then wants to take over the entry again,
br_fdb_external_learn_add() sees that BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_USER and skips
setting the BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_EXT_LEARN flags, thus silently ignores the
update.
Fix this by always allowing to set BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_EXT_LEARN regardless
if this was a user fdb entry or not.

Changelog:
V2:
* always allow setting EXT_LEARN regardless if user entry
* reworded the commit message a bit to match the new behavior
* dropped the redundant code excerpt from the commit message as it's
already in the context
