The fdb sticky flag is used to stop a host from roaming to another
port. However upon receiving a switchdev notification to update an fdb
entry the sticky flag is not respected and as long as the new entry is
not locked the host will be allowed to roam to the new port.
Fix this by considering the sticky flag before allowing an externally
learned host to roam.
