    net: bridge: br_fdb_external_learn_add(): always set EXT_LEARN
    
    [ Upstream commit bee2ef946d3184e99077be526567d791c473036f ]
    
    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.
