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.
