when primary IP addresses are removed from the device.
It defaults to off to preserve existing behavior.

[BRIDGE]: receive path optimization
This improves the bridge local receive path by avoiding going
through another softirq. The bridge receive path is already being called
from a netif_receive_skb() there is no point in going through another
receiveq round trip.
Recursion is limited because bridge can never be a port of a bridge
so handle_bridge() always returns.

[BRIDGE]: prevent bad forwarding table updates
Avoid poisoning of the bridge forwarding table by frames that have been
dropped by filtering. This prevents spoofed source addresses on hostile
side of bridge from causing packet leakage, a small but possible security
risk.
