This flag is read-only for user space, right? That is, the kernel needs
to reject it during netlink policy validation.

IIUC, we get here in case there is a non-local FDB entry with the SA
that points to our port. Can you write it as:

if (!fdb_src || READ_ONCE(fdb_src->dst) != p ||
test_bit(BR_FDB_LOCAL, &fdb_src->flags) ||
test_bit(BR_FDB_ENTRY_LOCKED, &fdb_src->flags)) {
if (!fdb_src) {
...
}
goto drop;
}
