net: ndo_fdb_add/del: Have drivers report whether they notified

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 parameter, bool *notified, to ndo_fdb_add and ndo_fdb_del. The flag is primed to false, and if the callee sends a notification on its own, it sets the flag to true, thus informing the core that it should not generate another notification.

Patches #1 to #2 are concerned with the above.

In the remaining patches, #3 to #7, add a selftest. This takes place across several patches. Many of the helpers we would like to use for the test are in forwarding/lib.sh, whereas net/ is a more suitable place for the test, so the libraries need to be massaged a bit first.

v4:
- Patch #7:
- Adjust the sleep around the FDB op

v3:
- v1 and v2 differed from this version mainly because they outright shifted the responsibility for notifying to the callee.
- Both substance patches were reworked, patch #1 was dropped. Selftest patches stayed intact.

v2:
- Patches #2, #3:
- Fix qlcnic build
