net: bridge: optimize backup_port fdb convergence
We can optimize the fdb convergence when a backup_port is present by not
immediately flushing the entries of the stopped port since traffic for
those entries will flow towards the backup_port.
There are 2 cases specifically that benefit most:
- when the stopped port comes up before the entries expire by themselves
- when there's an external entry refresh and they're kept while the
backup_port is operating (e.g. mlag)
