[RFC v3 2/6] bridge: trigger a bridge calculation upon port changes

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxx>

If netlink is used to tune a port we currently don't trigger a
new recalculation of the bridge id, ensure that happens just as
if we're adding a new net_device onto the bridge.
