X-Git-Tag: v2.6.22-rc1~1128^2~129

bridge: don't route packets while learning

While in the STP learning state, don't route packets; wait until
forwarding delay has expired. The purpose of the forwarding delay
is to detect loops in the network, and if a brouter started up
and started forwarding, it could cause a flood.
