net: dsa: don't fast age bridge ports with learning turned off

Browse source

On topology changes, stations that were dynamically learned on ports
that are no longer part of the active topology must be flushed - this is
described by clause "17.11 Updating learned station location information"
of IEEE 802.1D-2004.

However, when address learning on the bridge port is turned off in the
first place, there is nothing to flush, so skip a potentially expensive
operation.

We can finally do this now since DSA is aware of the learning state of
its bridged ports.
