bridge: use _bh spinlock variant for br_fdb_update to avoid lockup
br_fdb_update() can be called in process context in the following way:
br_fdb_add() -> __br_fdb_add() -> br_fdb_update() (if NTF_USE flag is set)
so we need to use spin_lock_bh because there are softirq users of the
hash_lock. One easy way to reproduce this is to modify the bridge utility
to set NTF_USE, enable stp and then set maxageing to a low value so
br_fdb_cleanup() is called frequently and then just add new entries in
a loop. This happens because br_fdb_cleanup() is called from timer/softirq
context. These locks were _bh before commit f8ae737deea1
("[BRIDGE]: forwarding remove unneeded preempt and bh diasables")
and at the time that commit was correct because br_fdb_update() couldn't be
called from process context, but that changed after commit:
