net: bridge: Add a tracepoint for MDB overflows

The following patch will add two more maximum MDB allowances to the global
one, mcast_hash_max, that exists today. In all these cases, attempts to add
MDB entries above the configured maximums through netlink, fail noisily and
obviously. Such visibility is missing when adding entries through the
control plane traffic, by IGMP or MLD packets.

To improve visibility in those cases, add a trace point that reports the
violation, including the relevant netdevice (be it a slave or the bridge
itself), and the MDB entry parameters:

# perf record -e bridge:br_mdb_full &

net: bridge: fdb: br_fdb_update can take flags directly

If we modify br_fdb_update() to take flags directly we can get rid of
one test and one atomic bitop in the learning path.

net: bridge: use rhashtable for fdbs

Before this patch the bridge used a fixed 256 element hash table which
was fine for small use cases (in my tests it starts to degrade
above 1000 entries), but it wasn't enough for medium or large
scale deployments. Modern setups have thousands of participants in a
single bridge, even only enabling vlans and adding a few thousand vlan
entries will cause a few thousand fdbs to be automatically inserted per
participating port. So we need to scale the fdb table considerably to
cope with modern workloads, and this patch converts it to use a
rhashtable for its operations thus improving the bridge scalability.
Tests show the following results (10 runs each), at up to 1000 entries
rhashtable is ~3% slower, at 2000 rhashtable is 30% faster, at 3000 it
is 2 times faster and at 30000 it is 50 times faster.
Obviously this happens because of the properties of the two constructs
and is expected, rhashtable keeps pretty much a constant time even with
10000000 entries (tested), while the fixed hash table struggles
considerably even above 10000.
As a side effect this also reduces the net_bridge struct size from 3248
bytes to 1344 bytes. Also note that the key struct is 8 bytes.

bridge: add tracepoint in br_fdb_update

This extends bridge fdb table tracepoints to also cover
learned fdb entries in the br_fdb_update path. Note that
unlike other tracepoints I have moved this to when the fdb
is modified because this is in the datapath and can generate
a lot of noise in the trace output. br_fdb_update is also called
from added_by_user context in the NTF_USE case which is already
traced ..hence the !added_by_user check.
